Spielregeln
The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, plus a Joker (totaling 53 cards). (The Joker may be used either as an Ace or to complete a Straight, Flush or Straight Flush, only.) After placing their bet, the players are each dealt seven cards. The players must then set their cards into two separate hands. The first hand, which must consist of 5 cards, is referred to as the "High Hand", as it must have the highest value of the two hands. The second hand, which consists of the remaining two cards, is referred to as the "Low Hand".
You may ask the house to suggest the best way by clicking on the "House Way" button.
If you wish to bet by the house recommendation click on set, thereafter you can decide to rearrange your cards as you prefer.
The goal of Pai Gow Poker is to beat both of the dealer's hands, according to the standard Poker hand values rules (see chart below). If both hands beat the dealer's hands, the player receives "even money" on their bet (minus a 5% vigorish or house commission). If both of the player's hands lose against the dealer's hands, the dealer takes the player's bet. If only one of the player's two hands win, the round results in a tie or "Push".
Winning Combinations:
High (Five-Card) Hand:
The Five-card Hand must have the highest rank of the two hands. The object is to form the best rank for the 5-card hand, from the seven dealt cards.
Low (Two-Card) Hand:
The Two card Hand must have the second-highest rank of the two hands. The highest-ranking 2-card hand possible is a pair of Aces. If the Two card Hand is not composed of a pair, the value of the cards will determine the hand's rank.
The Wild Card:
The Wild Card is the Joker card, which can be substituted only as a single Ace or to complete either a Flush, Straight, or Straight Flush.
Copy Hand:
When the player and the dealer compare hands that have the same rank, the hand is referred to as a "Copy Hand". In Pai Gow Poker, the dealer wins the Copy Hand, as opposed to Blackjack, where a Copy Hand results in a "Push".
Pai Gow Poker Hands:
(in order of value) | | 5 Aces (using Wild Card) | | Royal Flush | | Straight Flush | | Four of a Kind | | Full House | | Flush | | *Straight | | Three of a Kind | | Two Pair | | One Pair | | Ace | | King | | Queen | | Jack | | Ten, etc. |
*In Pai Gow Poker there exists an exception when calculating the value of a Straight (compared to common Poker Hand Values). The highest valued Straight in Pai Gow Poker is: A-K-Q-J-10 (as is true in Poker). However, in Pai Gow Poker the second highest valued Straight is: A-2-3-4-5 (in Poker this is the lowest valued Straight). For example, in Pai Gow Poker an A-2-3-4-5 Straight, beats a K-Q-J-10-9 Straight, but loses to a A-K-Q-J-10 Straight.
