Red Dog Bonus! is a hybrid of the classic card game "Acey-Deucy" (also called "In-Between") and 3 Card Poker. In this game, a standard 52-card deck is used and is shuffled between each round. A round consists of the Player placing a wager ($5-$500) and an optional 3 Card Bonus wager ($5-$100).
Once the wagers have been placed and the Deal button has been pressed, the Dealer will deal two cards face up on the table. The cards are arranged such that the lower card is on the left and the higher card is on the right. In this game, Aces are always the highest card in the deck. A third card will be dealt face down and placed between the first two cards.
The Player wins the round if the value of the center card falls between the values of the left and right cards. There is an exception to this rule. If the two outside cards are the same value, the Player will win if the third card matches the values of those first two cards.
After the cards have been dealt, the Player has the option to double the initial wager by pressing the "Raise" button. Placing a Raise wager will end the round and reveal the center card.
If the Player decides not to raise the initial wager, pressing the Play button will end the round and the center card will be revealed.
If the third card is revealed to have a value that falls between the first two cards, the Player's Ante and Raise wagers will be paid based on the spread of the cards as described in the Payout Table. Likewise, the Player will be paid if the three cards are all the same value.
If the third card does not fall between the first two cards, the Player's Ante wager and any Raise wager are forfeit.
The optional 3 Card Bonus wager is unaffected by the outcome of the main game; it is decided solely based on the final three cards. If a qualifying 3 Card Poker hand is made, as described in the Payout Table, the Player will be paid the appropriate bonus.
After a hand completes, if the Player presses the Deal button, a new round will be dealt and the same Ante and Bonus wager amounts from the preceding round will be made.
If the Player does not want to repeat the last set of wagers, play will resume after the Player has adjusted the wagers and pressed the Deal button.
