Online Pai Gow Poker
Online Pai Gow Poker first appeared in the Vegas casinos
in 1986, so it's a relatively new table game. The game is
a synthesis between an old Chinese domino game and American
poker. The ranking of the hands in online pai gow poker conforms
to traditional poker rankings, with the exception that four
aces plus the joker rank highest.
The goal of online pai gow poker is to beat the hands
of the dealer. You will receive seven cards face up, which
you have to split into two hands of five and two cards respectively.
The rank of the five-card hand must be greater than the rank
of the two-card hand. Depending on the way the dealer splits
it's hand you will either win, lose or tie.
