   Red Dog is an old west card game, 
also known as High Card Pool.  It was 
played by cowboys in the 1800's.  It's 
a cross between twenty-one and poker.  
From one to four can play.  The game 
uses a standard deck of fifty-two 
cards, with the ace as the high card.  
.
   Each player starts with $100.  You 
bet an amount, from one dollar to your 
total, that you can beat a card the 
dealer turns up, with one of your five 
cards.  After the player has bet, the 
dealer turns up the next card.  If the 
player has a card of the same suit and 
a higher rank, he wins the amount of 
his bet.  If he does not have a card of 
the same suit, or if it is a lower 
rank, he loses. 
.
   The game ends when all of the 
players have lost all their money or 
cash in their chips.
