Game Rules

This is a casino gambling game based on the Chinese Domino game Pai Gow but played with poker combinations. It is a rather simple game but is offers many strategic options.

You can either go for the fast way and the quick win or play conservatively for little money and maximize your playing time.It’s played with a pack of 52 cards plus one joker (a 53 cards deck). The joker is a wild card which can be used only as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush or a straight flush.

Seven cards are dealt to the player and the dealer. The player must divide the cards to form two hands - a two card hand and a five card hand. The five-card hand must be higher than the two-card hand. The relative values of the five card hands are the same as in poker, with one exception: A-2-3-4-5 is the second highest type of straight or straight flush, ranking between A-K-Q-J-10 and K-Q-J-10-9.

Five aces is the highest hand, beating a straight flush. For the two card hand, any pair beats any two unmatched cards, but no other combinations are possible. The aim of the game is to beat the banker with both hands. If one hand ranks exactly the same as the Banker's hand, this is a tie. The Banker wins all ties. If the player wins one hand, but loses the other, this is considered a "push" (tie). In "push" hands, no money exchanges hands. Winning hands are paid even money, less a 5% commission. Losing hands lose the money wagered.
