Walking through the table games section, you will often see players relaxed and chatting around the Pai Gow Poker table.
It is the ideal game for players who want to sit, enjoy free drinks, and play for hours without risking massive losses.
After placing your bet, the dealer distributes exactly seven cards to every player and to themselves.
Your objective is to separate your seven cards into two distinct hands: a five-card ‚high‘ hand and a two-card ‚low‘ hand.
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.
