 Pai
Gow Poker is a fascinating
game that combines familiar
poker cards with some of the
strategy of the centuries-old
Chinese domino game Pai Gow.
It is played with a 53-card
deck (including one Joker),
and each participant is dealt
7 cards.
The object is to arrange
the seven cards into the best
5-card and 2-card hands possible,
with the stipulation that
the 5-card hand has to be
of higher value than the 2-card
hand. To win, your 5-card
hand has to beat the dealer's
5-card hand and your 2-card
hand has to beat the dealer's
2-card hand. A winning combination
pays 1-to-1, less a 5% commission
to the house.
Rules of Play
The Deal
A
single deck of 53 cards is
used (standard 52-card poker
deck plus one Joker).
Seven cards are dealt to the
player face up.
Seven cards are dealt to the
dealer face down.
Each
7-card hand must be split
into a 5-card hand and a 2-card
hand.
The 5-card hand must be of
higher poker rank than the
2-card hand.
The Joker can be used to complete
a straight, a flush or a straight
flush, but otherwise is treated
as an Ace.
When you are satisfied with
the arrangement of your hand,
click Done to compare your
two hands against the dealer's
two hands.
You have the option of having
your hands automatically arranged
for you according to the House
Way.
The player's 5 card hand
is compared to the dealer's
5 card hand.
The player's 2 card hand
is compared to the dealer's
2 card hand.
If both of the player's
hands are of higher rank,
the player wins even money,
less a 5% commission to
the House.
If the player wins one comparison
and loses the other, it
results in a Tie. This is
a push, and the player's
bet is returned.
If both of the player's
hands are lower than the
dealer's, the player loses
his bet.
When two compared hands
are of the same rank, (for
example, if both the player
and the dealer have a Queen
and Jack in their 2-card
hands), it results in a
Copy and the dealer wins
that comparison.
Place
your bet in the Bet circle
in the middle of the table.
The table limits are $2 minimum
and $300 maximum per game.
