Pai Gow Poker - Online Poker Game

Pai Gow Poker, as the name implies, is a card game but with a much different strategy than you might be used to in the game of poker. This casino table game involves seven cards being dealt to each player, from an automatic shuffle machine, after they have made their wager. The player then divides their cards into a five card hand and a two card hand. The five card hand must outrank the two card hand or the player will automatically lose their bet due to a foul. Only a win on both hands, for either the banker or player, will result in an exchange of money. A win on one hand and a loss on the other hand results in a tie. The deck also contains a joker but it has a limited use. The joker can be used to complete a straight or flush. Otherwise it is considered to be an ace.

Pai Gow Poker is a game for the casinos, adapted from some old Chinese dominoes game. In other words, if you ask twenty people how to play Pai Gow Poker at the Home Poker table, you won't get the same answer twice. What follows are different ways that Pai Gow can be played at a home game.

Computer technology has made much advancement in recent years, the field of computer graphics being one of the fastest growing, and online pai gow poker has become very popular very quickly because of this. This makes online pai gow poker so much more like the version you find in land-based casinos. Though the traditional hands-on card game will never disappear, the computer screen and mouse version is really starting to gain some ground.

How to Play Online Pai Gow Poker

Playing Pai Gow poker is a great way to enjoy your time at a casino without having to worry too much about your card playing skills. Since in Pai Gow poker you are allowed to ask the dealer to set your hand for you, all that really matters is whether you are dealt a better hand than the dealer is.

Place your bet: Begin the Pai Gow Poker game by placing your wager. Choose from five chip denominations: $1, $5, $10, $25 and $100. In Pai Gow Poker you are betting on your High and Low hands winning over the dealer's hands.

Cards dealt: In Pai Gow Poker you will be dealt seven cards face-up. The dealer will receive seven cards face-down. The dealer's cards will not be revealed until you have finished your action.

Player action: Split your cards into two separate hands: High hand and Low hand. Your High hand must consist of five cards and contain your best ranking poker hand. Your Low hand must consist of two cards and be lower in rank than your High hand. The online Pai Gow Poker game will not allow you to create a Dead Hand (a Low hand of higher value than a High hand).

Dealer action: The dealer's hand will be arranged in a High and Low hand as well. The dealer's hand will be divided according to Fair Way Rules. Please see the Pai Gow Poker Rules section for details. At this time, the dealer's hands will be revealed.
