Red Dog is more a game of chance than skill. Although a little skill is required. The cards are ranked the same as in online poker gokken. In the beginning of a round the player places a bet on the ante, and then the dealer deals two cards face up. The hand is a push when the two cards are consecutive. When the initial cards are equal, a third card will be flipped. If the last card matches, the casino will pay out 11 to 1, and otherwise the hand is a push.

When the initial two cards are not consecutive or equal, it will be a spread. A spread is the amount of the card values in between the flipped cards. For instance, if the first two cards are a 4 and a 10, there will be a spread of 5. The player must guess if the third dealt card will fall exactly in between the values of the cards on the table, or not. Then the player can wager an extra amount of money. The third card is dealt after that. If the card matches the other cards, or does not have a value that falls in between the two cards the player loses. If the card is in between the first two cards, a casino online italiani will offer this payout:

1 card spread pays 5 to 1
2 card spread pays 4 to 1
3 card spread pays 2 to 1
4 and up card spread pays 1 to 1
