The first time I played Pai Gow Poker online I was more than a little
skeptical. But you have to bear in mind that in those days my casino games of
choice were blackjack and roulette and everything else paled in comparison. But
spurred on by my sense of curiosity, one evening I clicked on Pai Gow Poker
at my favorite online casino. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that not
only was this not such a bad game, but that I actually really enjoyed playing it
- and still do to this day. What is great about Pai Gow Poker is that it's easy
to grasp and play, and is a very fast-moving game where every hand has two
winning possibilities.
The way every hand of Pai Gow Poker begins is that you must place your chosen
bet. Next, click the 'deal' button and you'll be dealt 7 cards face-up while the
dealer is dealt 7 cards face-down. The objective of Pai Gow Poker is to beat the
dealer by splitting your cards to make not one but two winning hands. The first
hand is called the 'Highest' and the second is called, you guessed it, the '2nd
Highest'. Your Highest hand must always contain five cards while your 2nd
Highest hand must always contains two cards. Once you've split your hand
accordingly and hit the done button, the dealer will reveal his Highest and 2nd
Highest hand.
If both of the dealer's hands are higher than yours, you lose your bet. If one
of your hands is higher and the other is lower than the dealer's, the hand
results in a 'push' or a tie and your original bet is returned to you. But if
both your hands are higher than the dealer's, you'll be paid out at 1:1, minus a
small casino commission. In short, you'll almost double your money every time
you win, which can soon add up to some hefty winnings, believe me. In fact, I
remember one notable Pai Gow Poker session from not too long ago where I
increased my original playing funds by over 1000 percent. I had a big smile on
my face that day I can tell you.
Oh and I almost forgot to mention that to make Pai Gow Poker even more exciting,
the games uses Jokers as wild cards. This means that the Joker can substitute
for any other card which is obviously designed to help you make more winning
combinations. And this is just one more reason why Pai Gow Poker has become a
firm favorite of mine. Truth be told, since that eventful evening all those
years ago, I know play more Pai Gow Poker than blackjack or even roulette.
