Pai gow poker is a variation of the Chinese domino game pai gow. Pai gow poker is commonly referred to as simply "pai gow", which is wrong, as "pai gow" alone is a completely separate game. Pai gow poker is played with a 53-card deck, including a joker. The game is one on one, the player(s) against the banker, each competing to make the best possible hands. Due to a rather slow pace and a lot of ties,
pai gow poker is less intense than most
casino games and a modest buy in can usually last a long time.
The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, plus a single joker. It is played on a table set for six players, plus the dealer.
Pai Gow Poker has slightly different winning hand combinations than other forms of
poker. For starters, Pai Gow uses a deck of 53 cards. The 53rd card is a joker, or Wild Card. The joker can only be used as an ace, or to complete three hand combinations: a Straight, a Flush, or a Straight Flush. Another important difference in Pai Gow, one that you should remember, is that if a player's hand and the dealer's hand produce the same value, the result is NOT a push. The dealer wins the bet. Sorry guys, but that's just the way it is!
