Pai Gow Poker is an interesting casino poker game where you and the dealer play against each other with 7-card hands. Money Casino’s Pai Gow Poker has a convenient feature called the House Way button where the software finds the optimal way to arrange your cards for you.

Our game also features a Joker that helps you create winning hands. The Joker is used to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush, and otherwise it’s used as an Ace.

How to Play Pai Gow Poker
In Pai Gow your object is to split your 7 cards into a 5-card hand and a 2-card hand that will beat the dealer’s hands. The game is played with a 53 card deck that includes a joker.

The 5 card hand is called the back hand and the 2 card hand is called the front hand, and the back (5) must have a higher rank than the front hand (2 cards). The 5 card hands are ranked like regular poker hands except that A-2-3-4-5 is the second highest straight.

- Select your chip and place it on the table. Click DEAL.
- The dealer gives 7 cards facing up, and takes for himself 7 cards facing down. Now you sort your cards to decide how to split them.
- To help you decide how to split them you can sort the cards BY SUITE or BY VALUE. You can also click HOUSE WAY to have the software offer you how to split.
- When you make your decision click SPLIT

Now you compare hands with the dealer:
If you beat the dealer with both hands you win at 1:1 minus 5% vig.
If you beat him with one hand but loses the other the round is a push.
If the dealer beats you with both hands you lose the bet.
If there is a tie with the dealer hands, he wins the round.
