Pai Gow Poker Rules

Pai Gow Poker is a combination of Poker and an ancient Chinese game called 'Pai Gow'. There are two hands dealt. This may seem complex but as there are many ties and a slower over all playing speed, Pai Gow can be entertaining even for very modest bettors. A player receives seven cards, which he or she splits into two hands. The first is a five card hand and the second a two-card hand.

Place a bet by selecting a chip and clicking on the Bet area in the middle of the table.

Place multiple chips if you want. To remove a chip from the bet field, right click on it. Then click on Deal. You will receive seven cards. Leave five of them in the “Highest” hand. Then select two that go to the “2nd Highest” hand. To send a card to the “2nd Highest” hand, just click on it. To send it back to the “Highest” hand, click on it again. The five-card hand (or the “Highest”) must always outrank the two-card hand (or the “2nd Highest”). You can also click the ‘House Way’ button to let the computer select your hands in a certain manner. Look over the rules of Pai Gow in the HELP file in the casino for information on this. At this point if you did not press House Way then click on 'done'.

The dealer’s cards are now revealed. If both the dealer’s hands are higher than yours, you will lose your bet. If one of you hands is higher and the other is lower, the result is as a push and your bet is returned. If both your hands are higher, you win even money on your bet (1 to 1) minus 5% bank commission. In case of an exact match between hands (called a copy) the tie goes to the banker.
