Game red dog

A player will bid on the face that they think there will be card in their 3 facedown cards that will rank higher than the card revealed.

After a player has placed their bet, the dealer will burn one card and revealed the next card from the deck.

The player will then flip over their hand. If the player has a card of the same suit but higher rank in their hand in comparison to the card dealt, they have won their bet.

The dealer pays the winner their ante or initial stake back as well as their equal cut of the pot. Losers forfeit their bets. Once a player has completed their bet, they set their cards aside, face-down, and play passes left. Each player bets against the pot separately and one at a time, betting against whatever remains in the pot. That game is described on the In Between page. In the card games literature, there is quite a lot of variation as to which of the names Red Dog, Slippery Sam and Shoot are applied to which version of the game.

If you have views as to whether the names on this page are correctly assigned to the variations, or if you are familiar with other versions, please let me know. A standard 52 card pack is used with cards ranking from ace high down to two low. There can be from three to about eight players; each in turn will be the dealer - the first dealer is chosen at random.

Before the deal each player puts an equal stake ante into the pot. The dealer then deals five cards to each player, and the players look at their hands. Starting with the player to dealer's left, going around the table clockwise and ending with the dealer, each player has a chance to bet. At your turn you choose how much to bet - you must bet at least the amount of the ante, and may bet anything up to the entire pot - and you place your stake next to the pot.

When you have bet, the dealer burns one card i. Your cards and the dealt card are now set aside face down and it is the next player's turn to bet against the pot, whatever it now contains. If the pot is empty, or contains less than the minimum bet, each player immediately puts in the initial stake again.

After everyone has bet, the turn to deal passes. Whatever was in the pot stays there for the next hand, and each player adds another ante to it but if the players agree that the pot has become too large they may split it between them and ante to a new pot.

Some play that only four cards are dealt to each player. This enables a larger number of players to take part without the cards running out.

Some play with only three cards dealt to each player. Red Dog can be played with a bank put up by the dealer, as in Shoot or Slippery Sam; in this case the players do not ante, and if the pot becomes empty the deal immediately passes to the next player.

At the start, the dealer alone puts up a stake, which can be any amount between an agreed minimum and maximum.

The dealer gives five cards, one at a time, face down, to each player in turn, beginning with the player on the left. Some deal only four cards to a player. This is necessary if there are more than eight players. After looking at their cards, the player on the dealer's left may bet any number of chips up to the number of chips in the pot at the time. A player who does not wish to bet may forfeit one chip to the pot.

No bet may exceed the number of chips already in the pot. When the player has placed a bet, the dealer turns up the top card from the remainder of the pack. If the player who bet has a card of the same suit and of higher rank, they show the card and takes back the amount of their bet, plus an equivalent amount from the pot. If a player has no card that beats the card shown, they must show htheir entire hand, and the amount of the bet is added to the pot.

The next player in turn then places a bet, another card is turned, and the same procedure is followed until all players, including the dealer, have bet. If at any time the pot has no more chips in it because a player has "bet the pot" and won , each player again puts in one chip to restore the pot. When every player has had a chance to bet, the turn to deal passes to the player on the dealer's left.
