Who Would Like To Play A Nice Easy Relaxing Game Of Pai Gow Poker?

Pai Gow Poker is a derivative of the Chinese domino game Pai Gow. It's considered to be a low risk game due to the slow rate of play and lots of pushes. Whilst it is considered to be a game of skill, it is not difficult to learn an easy strategy for some of the hands that are dealt, but the majority are obvious in how to play them.

Each player pits their skills against the dealer and his hand and since they all play against the very same hand this causes the table to frequently lose or win all together. It creates a fun "us against the dealer" type atmosphere, where players frequently interact in a good spirit with one another, even the dealer joins in!

The card deck used for Pai Gow Poker consists of 53 cards, the regular 52 plus a Joker which is played as a semi-wild. It can be used as an Ace also it can complete a royal flush, a flush, a straight, or a straight flush. To start the player places their bet, then the dealer deals both himself and the players 7 cards each.

The regular rules of Poker are used with one exception, that is an Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5 straight known as "the Wheel", is recognized as the game's second biggest straight. The player breaks his 7 cards into two hands one of 5 cards and one of 2 cards, with the larger group of cards representing a higher Poker value than that of the remaining 2.

If wanting to learn Pai Gow Poker the best idea is to have a basic understanding of how to play and have things explained as one is going along and different hands are developed.

Remember this not a fast game and the chances of losing a fortune whilst in the learning process are pretty much close to zero, with a lot of games ending in a push. Enjoy the game and be aware there will be plenty of time to play one of the other variants like Gow Mania, Fortune Pow Gow, Emperors Challenge and Pow Gow Progressive, but learn the basics first, one needs to walk before they can run first!
