DEALER OPEN PAI GOW

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.

RNG will be used to determine the distribution order of the Player and Dealer cards. An RNG will choose a number between 1 and 7, with spot number #1 representing the Dealer position. The RNG number signifies which participant receives the first packet of cards. When the cup of dice is utilized, the sum of the three dice will determine which participant receives the first packet of cards. In this scenario, the Dealer position represents spots #1, #8, and #15.

1. To begin, Players must place a Pai Gow main wager along with an optional Ace-High (Tie) and/or Chan Chu side wager.

2. Packets of seven cards will be placed in front of the Players facedown, moving in a counterclockwise rotation. The Dealer will receive their seven cards face up.

3. If any participant in the game receives fewer than seven cards, all hands are declared dead.

4. Players must wait until all the hands have been delivered, the last four cards have been verified, and the Dealer will arrange and set the House Way hand face-up before any Player's hands have been set.

Important Note: If the Dealer has an Ace-High Pai-Gow, all main wagers push and Ace-High (Tie) and/or Chan Chu side wagers will be settled based on the posted paytable.

5. The House Way hand will be played in front of the chip rack in full view before exposing the Player's hands.

6. The Players will rank their cards and set the Low hand (or second highest) in front (2-card spot) and the High hand (5-card spot) at the back as indicated on the layout. Hands that are set, making the front hand higher than the backhand, are automatic losers (Foul Hand).

7. After the Dealer sets the House Way hand, they will expose and spread the cards of the Players in a counterclockwise rotation, starting with the position furthest to the Dealer's right.
