About the game:
Reddog is the newest Atlantic City casino table game. It is
a variation of the old favorite called 'Acey-Duecy'. The
dealer deals two cards then announces the spread. The spread
is the number of cards that fall between the first two
cards. A third card is then drawn. If it falls between
the first two, the players win. The player also has the
option of raising his/her bet after the first two cards are
dealt as long as they are non-consecutive and are not a
pair. If the first two cards are consecutive the hand is a
TIE. In this case the cards are put away and a new hand is
dealt. If the first two cards make a pair, the hand is a
tie, but the dealer draws a third card. If the third card
makes three of a kind, the players are paid 11-1. Other odds
depend on the spread.
About the program:
Reddog was written using Microsoft's new programming language
for Windows, Visual Basic. I had read and heard a lot about VB
so I decided to give it a try. Reddog was my first project.
All of the Atlantic City rules have been incorporated.
Visual Basic is a remarkable programming tool that makes writing
programs fun
