Pai Gow Poker
| Description and Objective |
| Pai Gow Poker is a card game played
with a 53-card deck consisting of a standard deck
of 52 cards plus one Joker. In this version of Pai
Gow Poker, the banker (or house) always plays as
the dealer and covers all bets, and the player only
competes against the dealer. The player receives
seven cards, which must then be “set”
or split into two poker hands: a five-card hand
and a two-card hand. Once split, the player’s
two hands are compared with the dealer’s two
hands to determine the winner.
The bank pays the winner—minus a 5% commission—and
the game ends. The commission is 5% of the bet
and is rounded up to the next quarter. For example,
a minimum bet of $6 would be a commission of 50
cents. (5% of $6 = 30 cents, but since the commission
is rounded up to the next 25 cents; the commission
is actually 50 cents. 5% of $11 = 55 cents, which
makes the actual commission 75 cents.)
