Pai-Gow Description:
The object of pai-gow is to have a higher ranked five-card and two-card
Poker hand than the house.
How to play pai-gow
Pai-gow Poker is played using a single deck of standard playing cards
including a Joker. You will be dealt 7 cards. These cards must be
split into two Poker hands: a two-card front hand and a five-card
back hand. You can split your hand however you like but you must follow
one simple rule: your back hand must be ranked higher than your front
hand. To win, you must out-rank the house's high and low hands. If
one of your hands wins and one loses, the hand is a push.
Game Play
After placing your bet, click the Deal Button to deal the hand. You
will be dealt seven cards. Split your hand by dragging and dropping
the cards on the card holders on the right of the table. If you change
your mind, you can drag back any card again. Once your hand is set,
click the Done button. The dealer will reveal the house hands, Your
hands will be compared to the house hands. Remember, you must win
both your front and back hand to get pa id..
Copies
Anytime one of your hands is identical to one of the house's hands, the hands are said to be a copy.
The house wins all copies. *Note that two straights are not necessarily a copy. If you have a 7, 8, 9,
10, J straight and the house has a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 straight, you win because your straight is higher
than the house's.
