What is Pai Gow?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you think back to the time when we played all kinds of games as kids, many of us will fondly remember dominoes. That\u2019s what we called the game back then, but it does have its own name \u2013 Pai Gow. This popular table game is played with 52 Chinese dominoes and is very popular in Asia and the USA. It has also found success in many online casinos being the base of a card game known as pai gow poker.<\/p>\n

Historically, Pai Gow is the first documented form of dominoes. It originated in ancient China during the Song Dynasty, and was a leisure type of game for centuries to follow. Of course, it\u2019s the ancestor of the various modern games of dominoes. Its name means \u2018make nine\u2019, which is indicates the game\u2019s objective. The original game was modelled after the Chinese creation myth. What it\u2019s most popular for is the game of pai gow poker which is modelled after these rules.<\/p>\n

Playing pai gow poker isn\u2019t as complicated as you might think. There are no dominoes involved in a game of poker, obviously, but the rules of this game are based on the ancient game of Pai Gow. This version of the game is played with playing cards instead of dominoes. Unlike its ancient predecessor, the patent for pai gow poker was filed in 1985 by Sam Torosian, owner of the iconic bell Card Club.<\/p>\n

Pai gow poker is played with a standard deck of 52 cards and a single joker. It is played on a table with six players and the dealer. The goal of the player is to create two hands\u2014one of five cards and the other containing two\u2014that will defeat the dealer. The five-card hand rank must exceed the one of the lower hand, which is reflected in the latter\u2019s name which is often \u2018small\u2019 or \u2018minor\u2019. The higher hand is called \u2018big\u2019 or \u2018high\u2019.<\/p>\n
