Learn How to Play Pai Gow
December 20th, 2007
Pai Gow changed its original version of using special dominos and dice with a deck of 53 playing cards (including Joker). It uses poker-like hands for ranking. It is rather a slow game with showdowns often resulting in ties. This allows a player with a modest stake to last longer at the table than would be possible with other (faster) casino games. All wins in Pai Gow are at even money, less the house’s 5% commission.
Objective
You place your bets and receive seven cards. From these seven cards you form two hands: a two-card hand called the “low” or “front” hand; a five-card hand called the “high” or “back” hand. Your goal is to beat the dealer on both hands. The back hand is ranked as in Poker with the exception that A-2-3-4-5 is the second-highest straight beating K-Q-J-10-9. The front hand is singles or a pair, with A-A being the highest.
There are a few additional rules. First, your front hand should not beat your back hand. If it does, this is called a “foul” and both hands lose. Second, the Joker can be used as a wild card to complete a Straight, a Flush, a Straight Flush or a Royal Flush. Otherwise it is treated as an Ace.
