Game of chance played with cards

"Yablon" redirects here. For the Russian river, see

Yablon (river)

A round of red dog. Dealt 💷 two cards whose values are neither the same

nor adjacent to each other, the player bets on whether the value 💷 of the third card will

fall between the value of the first two.

Red dog, also known as Yablon, is a 💷 game of

chance played with cards, in which two cards are dealt and a player bets on whether the

rank 💷 of a third card would fall between them. While found in some land casinos, its

popularity has declined, although it 💷 is featured at many online casinos.

A standard

52-card deck is used. The game may be played with anywhere from one 💷 to eight decks,

with an increasing number of decks decreasing the house's edge—the house's advantage

begins at 3.155% with one 💷 deck but falls to 2.751% when eight decks are used. This is

in contrast with some other casino card games, 💷 such as blackjack, where a higher number

of decks used will increase the house edge.

A close variant is Acey Deucey.

Red 💷 Dog [

edit ]

Two cards dealt with consecutive ranks are a "push", returning the player's

wager.

The game only uses three 💷 cards at a time, which are ranked as in poker, with

aces high. Suit is irrelevant. A wager is placed, 💷 and two cards are placed face up on

the table, with three possible outcomes:

If the cards are consecutive in number 💷 (for

example, a four and a five, or a jack and a queen), the hand is a push and the 💷 player's

wager is returned.

(for example, a four and a five, or a jack and a queen), the hand is

a 💷 push and the player's wager is returned. If the two cards are of equal value , a

third card is 💷 dealt. If the third card is of the same value, then the payout for the

player is 11:1, otherwise, the 💷 hand is a push.

, a third card is dealt. If the third

card is of the same value, then the 💷 payout for the player is 11:1, otherwise, the hand

is a push. If neither of the above is the case 💷 (for example, a three and an eight),

then a spread is announced which determines the payoff (a 4-card spread, in 💷 this

example), and a third card will be dealt. Before dealing the third card, the player has

the option to 💷 double his bet. If the third card's value falls between the first two,

the player will receive a payoff according 💷 to the spread; otherwise, the bet is

lost.

Spread [ edit ]

The spread table is as follows:

Spread Payout 1-card 5 to 💷 1

2-card 4 to 1 3-card 2 to 1 4- to-11-card 1 to 1

The house edge table is as

follows.

Acey Deucey [ edit ]

Acey

Deucey,[2] also known as In-Between, Sheets, Between the 💷 Sheets or Maverick, is a

simple betting card game. Two cards are dealt to a player, who then bets on 💷 whether the

rank of a third card will fall between those of the first two.

Rules [ edit ]

Before

the action, 💷 each player must add their ante into the pot. Two cards are then dealt

face-up to one player. That player 💷 then bets from nothing to the amount that is in the

pot at the time whether or not the third 💷 card will numerically fall in between the

first two. If the third card falls in between the two other cards, 💷 the bettor takes the

amount they bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two 💷 other cards,

the bettor must add what they bet to the pot; and if the third card matches the

numerical 💷 value of one of the other two cards, the bettor must add to the pot double

what they bet. If 💷 two cards of the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks if the

next card will be higher 💷 or lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the last

two, i.e. a 2, the bettor 💷 must triple their bet.

Regionally specific rules [ edit ]

The

rules and specifics of the game often vary from region to 💷 region. For example in

Liaoning province, northeast China the minimum number of players is 4 and each player

is required 💷 to ante before the first card is turned. Two cards are then dealt face-up

to one player. That player then 💷 bets from nothing to the amount that is in the pot at

the time (during the first time around the 💷 table players are only allowed to bet up to

half of the pot) whether or not the third card will 💷 numerically fall in between the

first two. Other regions, such as in the United States, play the game by combining 💷 two

decks of cards. This adds another dynamic to the game due to the extra number of

similar type cards. 💷 Beyond that, most of the other rules followed by United States

players are similar to those which are observed in 💷 the Liaoning province.

Just about

all regions play if the third card falls in between the two other cards, the bettor

💷 takes the amount they bet out of the pot; if the third card falls outside of the two

other cards, 💷 the bettor must add what they bet to the pot; and if the third card

matches the numerical value of 💷 one of the other two cards, this is referred to as a

"Post" and the bettor must add to the 💷 pot double their own initial bet. If two cards of

the same value come up, e.g. 2,2 the bettor picks 💷 if the next card will be higher or

lower and bets. If the next card is the same as the 💷 last two, i.e. a 2, this is

considered a "Post" and the player is required to pay triple the bet 💷 for the hand.

Aces

[ edit ]

In addition to this, there is a special rule for Aces. If the first card

💷 turned is an Ace the player may choose its value as either the high Ace or the low one.

Low 💷 Ace is always lower than any other card, including the deuce. If an Ace comes up as

the second card 💷 turned it is always considered the high Ace. If a player "Posts" on an

Ace they are required to pay 💷 four times their bet for that hand. Aces also cause an

automatic loss if it is the third card turned 💷 when the first two cards are a match,

e.g. 6,6. The best spread in the game is considered to be 💷 a low Ace on the left and a

high Ace on the right. This is also one of the worst 💷 hands to get as you run the risk

of the third card being an Ace and having to pay four 💷 times your bet for the

hand.

Variations [ edit ]

A variation is to split the cards if two end cards are 💷 the

same value. This requires the bettor to ante in for two hands and the dealer would draw

one more 💷 card under each of the end cards. After this, the same rules apply.

Some new

rules that increase payouts and betting:

Blind 💷 Pot - Bet the pot before your 2 outside

cards are placed. In the case of a win, you win 💷 the pot. If you are outside of your

cards you lose half the pot. If you post you have to 💷 pay the full amount of the

pot.

"AutoPot" - Any A-2 played as your outside cards automatically make the player bet

💷 the full amount of the pot.

Post Bet - You can bet that your inside card will match one

of your 💷 outside cards. In the case of this you win the full pot and in addition each

player pays an equal 💷 percentage to match the pot. Therefore, the player that post would

win 2x the pot. If the player bets the 💷 post and misses, they owe half the amount of the

pot to the pot.

Satan 6s - Any player that gets 💷 6-6-6 as their cards must pay 6x the

amount of the pot to the pot.

In popular culture [ edit ]

The 💷 game show Card Sharks is

based on Acey Deucey and closely resembles the rules.[citation needed] In the show, two

players 💷 answer high-low survey questions, and guess whether the next card is higher or

lower (with duplicates counting as wrong).

Acey-ducey is 💷 often mentioned in the book

series The Corps by W.E.B. Griffin which is set in the Pacific Theater of World 💷 War II,

and follows the lives of a group of marines in special service. Griffin never explains

the game in 💷 the slightest, but his characters are often playing it when they are

interrupted by the war, i.e. required to stop 💷 playing to perform some duty.

In 1978 a

type-in program BASIC video game version was distributed via the book BASIC Computer

💷 Games.[3]

An unsold 1985 game show pilot hosted by Jim McKrell, entitled Split

Decision, had contestants playing the game Acey Deucey 💷 while answering general

knowledge questions. Each player picked a card to share and had their own base card,

and tried 💷 to fit a card in or bust the other player.
