Online casinos offer many alternative simple casino games

Just as there are many different slots being offered by the individual online casinos, there are also other casino games which are as quick and easy to play. One of these alternative casino games is the simple card game called Red Dog, which you will find at the Bwin online casino site. If you enjoy card games but don’t have the time or patience to play the better known card games, Red Dog may be just what you’re looking for. Played with a standard 52 card deck which is shuffled between every hand, Red Dog is played individually against the house for fixed odds and known minimum table stakes. Just three cards are dealt to the player, two of them face up and the third face down and normally positioned between the first two cards. An ante bet is placed before the deal, which must be at least equal to the minimum table stake, and a winning hand is simply one in which the blind card has a value between the other two cards. Unlike most slots, there is a decision to be made in Red Dog and the player can elect to double the ante bet at this stage if they feel that they have a good chance of a winning hand. Most winning hands will usually be paid at even money, but there are exceptions. If for instance the spread between the two face up cards is 3 or less, the chances of a winning hand are much reduced and this is reflected in the reward associated with a winning hand. There are two other possible situations with regard to the player’s hand. First the two face up cards could be consecutive numbers which of course negates any possibility of a winning hand so the hand is declared void or a ‘push’ and the ante bet is returned. Secondly these two cards could be a pair, in which case the only winning hand would be if the third card matches the pair. If it does then the pay-out would be very much higher and is normally 11/1. Red Dog is a fast and easy casino game to play, but requires some decision making for added excitement and may well be the sort of casino game you are looking for.
