How
to Play Pai Gow
Pai Gow poker is a westernized version of the Chinese
dominoes game Pai Gow. Players must arrange seven cards into two
poker hands – one five-card and one two-card hand, so that each
hand beats the dealers corresponding hand.
Game Play
At the beginning of each game you are required to place a wager
against the banker, who is represented by the dealer. This
amount appears on the betting circle on the table top.
- Select a chip value of either $1, $5, $10, $25, or $100.
- Click the betting circle until the number of chips
displayed equals the amount you wish to bet.
- To reduce your bet amount, right-click the betting circle
to remove chips. Your bet will be reduced by the amount of the
currently selected chip.
- Click Deal. You and the dealer
will each be dealt a hand of seven cards. All of your cards
will be face up, but none of the dealer's cards will be face
up. No additional cards are dealt.
- Click Sort. Your hand will be displayed in ascending
order.
- Click two of the seven cards in your hand. These cards
make up your low hand, while the remaining five cards become
your high hand. Click on a selected card at anytime prior to
the split, you are able to make a new selection.
- Click Split to physically
divide the cards into two separate hands. The dealer's cards
will be turned face up to determine the winner.
