Red Dog is a quick and easy online casino game

All our popular online casinos offer a huge range of casino games for us to enjoy, ranging from the traditional casino games such as roulette and blackjack to the instant satisfaction of the slots. There are of course online casino games such as poker and backgammon for those of us who prefer to give a little more thought to our casino games, but we are regularly told that it is the slots and video slots which attract the new casino games players to the online casino sites because of their simplicity and instant results. We have no reason to believe that this is not true, so let’s look at one of the other casino games available at many online casinos which also satisfies that criteria. Card players may for instance want to take a look at the casino game of Red Dog as an alternative to the slots. Red Dog, sometimes known as ‘between the sheets’ is a casino game played with a standard 52 card deck against the house for fixed odds. The player is asked to place an ante bet at least equal to the minimum table stake, after which three cards are dealt, two face up with the third face down between them. A winning hand is simply one in which the blind card has a value between the two open cards and in most cases is paid at even money. The player has the opportunity to increase his stake before the blind card is revealed, but clearly the spread of the two open cards is significant in that decision and can also effect the pay-out for a winning hand if it is 3 or less. It is also possible that the two open cards are a pair, in which case the only winning hand is three of a kind which normally attracts winning odds of up to 11/1. If however the two open cards are consecutive numbers a winning hand is clearly impossible and the hand is void with the ante bet returned. Red Dog is a very easy casino game but does present the opportunity for a good pay-out if you’re feeling lucky, and is a great alternative to the slots.
