- LAS VEGAS RED DOG
-
- Designed and written by Mark Damron CIS:73240,3621
-
- The idea for this came from ACEY DUCEY in
- David Ahl's BASIC COMPUTER GAMES. The
- rules and instructions are from various
- Las Vegas casino handouts.
-
- "RED DOG is an exciting, fast paced and"
- "easy to play game that is often called"
- "Acey-Ducey or In-Between."
-
- "Two cards are dealt face up. If the two"
- "cards are not consecutive or a pair,"
- "the dealer will announce the 'spread',"
- "or number of cards that fall between"
- "the two original cards."
-
- "At that point you may raise your bet up"
- "to the amount of your original bet."
-
- "The dealer will then turn up a third"
- "card. You win if the value of this"
- "card is between the values of the"
- "first two cards."
-
- "Payoffs are made according to the"
- "number of cards in the spread."
-
- "If the spread consists of only one card"
- "the bet pays 5 to 1. For a two card"
- "spread, the bet pays 4 to 1."
-
- "For a three card spread, the bet pays"
- "2 to 1. For a spread of between 4 and"
- "11, the payoff is 1 to 1."
-
- "If the first two cards are consecutive"
- "the hand is a tie, you do not win or"
- "lose, and the third card is not drawn."
-
- "If the first two cards are a pair, you"
- "may not raise your bet. A third card"
- "is drawn, and, if it makes three of a"
- "kind you win 11 times your bet."
-
- "If the card does not make three of a"
- "kind, the hand is a tie and you do not"
- "win or lose."
-
- "To quit input a negative bet."
-
- REDDOG is a relatively new game in Las Vegas
- and a good way to lose your money fast.
-
- This is a 6 deck version. The program can be
- easily changed for any deck configuration.
-
- ENJOY!!
-
- The program was initially written in PBASIC
- directly on the Portfolio over the course of
- two evenings while I was TDY and was my
- first experience in programming in quite a
- while. ZIP and CIS comm was done on my desktop.
