The objective of Red Dog is to receive a third card that ranks between the two cards dealt already. Cards are ranked just as they are in Poker. The cards from 2 to 10 carry their face value, and Jack, Queen, King, and Ace rank 11, 12, 13, and 14, respectively.

Let us now see how to play the game at Cool Cat Casino Red Dog table.

Bet: You need to place your bet, which is also called ante, first. Click the chips to place a bet. The minimum bet at our Red Dog table is $2 and the maximum bet is $250.

Deal: After you place your bet, click the Deal button to get a hand of two cards. If you receive two consecutive cards, such as two and three, you get a push. It means you will get your bet back. The reason for the push is that there is no possibility of any cards that may lie between two consecutive cards, so the Dealer pushes back your bet, and the game ends.

Also, if you receive two cards of the same rank, such as Jack, the Dealer automatically deals you another card to see if you get three matching cards, and if you do, you win an amount 11 times the bet you place. Otherwise, your bet is returned to you.

If it’s not a push, the Dealer will mark the spread between your cards and the associated payout on a predefined space on the table. On our table, the Dealer places a toy dog to mark a space.

Raise: You may want to raise your bet before drawing another card to complete a set of three cards. When you raise your bet, an equal wager is placed on the table automatically. You should judge your hand carefully before you raise you bet. See the spread between your cards when you judge them. Let’s say you are dealt two cards ranked between 3 and K. There are 9 cards that can fit between 3 and K. It is very much possible that you will get a card ranked between 3 and K. So, you can go ahead and raise your bet.

Note: You can only raise your bet once in a game.

You Win When:

• You get a third card that lies between the first two cards.
• You get all three cards of the same rank, regardless of the suit.

At Cool Cat Casino, Red Dog is played with two decks of cards. At the end of every hand, all cards are reshuffled.

The following table describes the Red Dog spreads and their associated payouts. It also includes a sample payout based on a $5 bet.

Note: When you are dealt a pair, the Dealer will automatically deal you a third card. If you get three matching cards, you are paid an amount 11 times the bet you place. Otherwise, your bet is returned to you.
