Pai Gow

Casino Table Games

Pai Gow Poker is a Chinese variation of the game of poker, sort of a hybrid between that and the traditional Chinese game of Pai Gow. Upon being dealt seven cards, the objective of this game is to beat the dealer by splitting the hand dealt to you into two; one hand of five cards, and the other hand of two. The original game of Pai Gow used Chinese dominoes, and upon combining it with poker, it incorporated playing cards with poker values. This game is an acquired taste, because it can be a low risk game, ideal for players who are more interested in having a fun game that allows for the player to relax while playing it. It is a good game to catch when you are in the mood for playing but not wanting to risk more than you have to.
