Dealer Open Pai Gow is an exciting Commission-Free Pai Gow game, played with a 53-card deck, consisting of the standard 52 cards plus 1 joker. The player begins by placing a Dealer Open Pai Gow wager along with an optional Ace-High (Tie) and/or Chan Chu bonus side wagers. Each Player is then dealt 7 cards face down, and the dealer is dealt 7 cards face-up.
If the Dealer has Ace-High Pai-Gow, all main Pai-Gow wagers push, and the Ace-High (Tie) and/or Chan Chu side wagers are immediately resolved. Otherwise, the Dealer will set their cards into a 5-card hand and a 2-card hand, according to the House Way. Once the Dealer is done setting their cards, the Player will begin setting their cards into a 5-card hand and a 2-card hand, and all wagers are then resolved. Ace-High (Tie) is an optional side wager that wins when the Dealer has Ace-High Pai-Gow among their seven cards. Ace-High pays according to the posted paytable. If both Dealer and Players have Ace-High Pai-Gow, they qualify for a higher pay. See posted paytable. Chan Chu is an optional side wager that considers the Player's best possible hand among their seven cards and wins when a qualifying hand is made. See posted paytable.
Dealer Open Pai Gow (Commission Free) is a poker-based game that utilizes a 53-card deck, including one Joker. The Joker may be used to complete straights, flushes, and straight flushes. When used in flushes, the Joker is considered the highest possible card for the situation. When used alone, the Joker becomes a suitless Ace. The A-2-3-4-5 straight is considered the 2nd-highest straight. Each Player, including the Dealer, receives seven cards. The object of Dealer Open Pai Gow is to create a five-card poker hand (H) and a two-card poker hand (L) from
seven cards that beat both Dealer hands. The five-card hand's rank must exceed that of the two-card hand. If the dealer has Ace-High Pai-Gow, the Pai Gow wager pushes. Otherwise, the dealer and player hands are compared in regular Pai Gow Poker fashion, 5-card to 5-card and 2- card to 2-card. If the player beats the dealer in both comparisons, the Pai Gow wager wins and pays 1 to 1. If the player beats the dealer in one of the two comparisons, the wager pushes. If each comparison results in the player being beaten by or tying the dealer, the wager loses.
