Pai Gow is originally a dominoes game played by the Chinese, however in America, this is played with cards and it has become a popular casino game. It is also considered to be a popular online game all over the world.

The objective of the Pai Gow is to have two poker hands from seven cards. The hands will be a five hand card and a two hand card. However, the value of the five cards has to be higher than the one of the two hands. The rules of the game can vary in different casinos and you will have to understand well the values of the cards to be able to implement all the strategies necessary to win the game. Online Pai Gow games have their own rules as well.

Of course, like most other casino games, Pai Gow also requires luck; however, the most important part is to be able to figure out the high cards which are normally considered the A-2-3-4-5. Sometimes the joker represents the ace and sometimes it is considered a wild card. This is something that you will have to check again with the casino as well.

You will have to pay the casino a percentage of the winning as their profit; however this also depends on the rules of the game you are playing. This game is a slow one and therefore, the casino does not really earn too much from the winnings.

In a Pai Gow game the two card hand are referred as the top hand and the five hand is called the bottom hand. The cards are dealt on rows of seven and you four cards will always remain unused. The banker on the game sets up the game and you can have many players playing at the same time. The banker follows the rules of the House and therefore, strategies will change according to the rules of the game.

There have been many analyses done to try and find the best strategy to win a Pai Gow game; however, this requires that you memorize a large number of combinations that will actually give you the best and highest results. If the rules followed in the casino differ, then all that memorization will not work in the long run. Therefore those strategies have not really functioned much.

Looking for the best two cards in the minor hand is not the best way to play the game. It is better to find the higher card, which is normally the Ace followed by the highest number and the five hand can take the other numbers to make sure that the five hand is higher. It is however difficult to figure that out in the first place.

It is simple to try and understand the game first by playing for free through the internet. Once you have understood the basics, then understanding the strategies will become easier and you will be able to enjoy the game fully.
