- RED DOG RULES
-
- Red Dog is an exciting and easy-to-play game that is often
- called Acey Deucey or In-Between. Six standard decks of fifty-
- two cards are used. An Ace is always considered high and the
- deuce is the lowest card. You begin by placing a bet. The
- dealer will then turn two cards face up on in the outermost
- spaces on the table. The dealer will then turn up a third card
- in the middle of the two outermost cards. You win your bet if
- the middle card is in between the outer cards.
-
-
- STARTING RED DOG
-
- Be sure REDDOG.EXE is in Drive A or in your current directory.
- From your DOS prompt, type "REDDOG" and press the ENTER key.
- Once Red Dog is loaded into memory, your screen will display
- the boot screen. This displays the copyright notice, version
- number and a message of either Shareware or Registered. The
- Shareware versions may be distributed freely. The Registered
- versions are sent only to those that have registered their
- Shareware version and they are not to be distributed.
-
- It will take about fifteen seconds before the screen clears and
- you are brought to the main playing table. You may speed this
- process up by pressing any key once you've read the boot screen.

- PLAYING RED DOG
-
- From the Main Options, press the letter "D" to deal. The
- playing options will replace the main options. If need be, the
- cards will be shuffled then two cards will be dealt face up.
- The dealer will decide what the spread is and move the pointer
- to a spot on the table that represents the spread and payoff.
- The spread is the total amount of cards that will fit in between
- the first two cards dealt. ie: 5 and 9 were dealt. The spread
- is 3. Looking at the table, a 3 spread will pay 2:1 on your
- bet. This is called a "non-consecutive". At this time you
- would raise your bet if you so desired. A third card will be
- dealt when you are satisfied with your bet and you have pressed
- the "D" key again. If the third card is in between the first
- two, you win.
-
- If the dealer was to deal a 5 and 6 as the first two cards, the
- pointer would move to the letter "C" on the table layout. This
- is known as a "consecutive" and its a tie. There aren't any
- cards that will fit in between those first two cards. A third
- card is not drawn. You may leave your bet for the next hand,
- increase it or decrease it.
-
- If the dealer was to deal a pair as the first two cards, you may
- not raise your bet. A third card is drawn and placed in the
- middle of the first two cards dealt. If that card makes three-
- of-a-kind, you automatically win. The payoff is 11:1. If the
- card does not make three-of-a-kind, the hand is a tie. You may
- leave your bet for the next hand, increase it or decrease it.
-
- SETUP MENU
-
- The Setup Menu is reached by pressing F3 prior to dealing a new
- hand. A new screen will appear displaying the following
- options:
