If you are looking for a slow-paced, highly strategic game with a low house edge, Pai Gow Poker is the perfect choice.
The game is famous for its incredibly high number of 'pushes' (ties), meaning your bankroll will last a very long time.
The Basic Rules of Pai Gow Poker
After placing your bet, the dealer distributes exactly seven cards to every player and to themselves.
You must arrange your cards into a five-card back hand and a two-card front hand, following traditional poker rankings.
- The dealer must set their hand according to a strict set of casino rules called the 'House Way'
- If you are confused, you can always ask the dealer to set your hand according to the House Way for you
- Because tying is so common, the casino takes a 5% commission on all winning bets to maintain their house edge
How to Optimize Your Pai Gow Hands
Because you need to win both hands to make a profit, you cannot just stack all your best cards in the five-card hand.
When dealt a hand with no pairs (a 'Pai Gow'), you put your highest card in the back and your next two highest in the front.
| Situation | Action | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| You cannot figure out the best move | Ask dealer for the 'House Way' | Ensures you don't make a mathematical error |
| Four of a Kind (Jacks or better) | Split into two pairs | Creates two incredibly strong hands |
By learning how to balance your high and low hands perfectly, you can enjoy one of the best table games in the casino.
