Pay Gow Poker
How to Play Pai Gow Poker:
7 cards are dealt. You must make your best five-card and two-card poker hands against the dealer's 2 hands. The 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. You win if both of your hands beat the dealer's hands.
Steps:
1. Place your bet and get your cards from the dealer.
2. Split your 7 cards into 2 poker hands. The 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. (If you have 2, 6, 7, 8, 10, Jack, King and King , you must place your pair of kings in the 5 card hand, leaving the Jack and 10 as your best 2 card hand.)
4. Wait for the casino to separate its cards to see if you've won. The winning cards beat both the dealer's 5 card and 2 card hands. Winning only 1 hand (which often happens) results in a tie.
