Pai gow Poker

The player begins by placing a wager on the Pai Gow table. To do this, click on the chips at the bottom center of the game screen. Once the wager is placed, the player presses the Deal button. The dealer deals the player seven cards face up and himself seven cards face down. One standard deck of 52 cards plus one joker is used.

The joker is not wild but can be used only as an ace or as a card to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush or a royal flush.

After the player has his seven cards, he must form two hands. The low hand must contain two cards and the high hand five cards. To do this, the player must select the two cards that he wishes to be in the low hand by left-clicking on them. Cards may be unselected by clicking them again. Selected cards will shift up out of the line of player's cards on the game screen.

Note : When forming hands, the rank of the five-card high hand must be higher than the rank of the two-card low hand. If this is not true a message box will be displayed asking the player to re-split their hand. Once the player has set both hands, pressing the Done button will end the hand. The dealer will split his cards according to fixed house rules and will then compare the player's hand rank with his own. To win the wager, the player's low and high hand must both rank higher than the dealer's low and high hand, respectively. If one of the player's hands is higher in rank than the dealer's and the other is lower or equal, this is a tie and the player's wager is returned. Otherwise, the player's wager is lost. If both hands are identical, the dealer also wins.
