Pai Gow Poker

Each player is dealt seven cards of which the player creates two hands, a two-card hand (low hand) and a five-card hand (high hand). The rankings in each of the hands are that of regular poker, the highest ranking two-card hand being a pair of Aces, and the highest ranking five-card hand being five Aces (using the Joker as a fifth Ace). The five-card hand must be of higher rank than the two-card hand. The object of the game is for both of the player’s hands to be of higher rank than both of the dealer’s hands. If the player wins one hand and the dealer wins the other, the bet is considered a push or tie. If both of the dealer’s hands are equal to or higher than those of the player, the bet shall lose. Winning hands are paid even money and a commission of 5% is collected immediately.
