Pai gow is the oldest of the free casino games. It easily pre-dates roulette and baccarat. How such a complicated game ever got started, I have always wondered. Indeed, pai gow is a difficult game to learn. The concept is the same as pai gow poker, where both player and banker make high and low hands, and then compare against each other. What makes pai gow difficult is there is order of hands and tiles seems largely random, and is difficult to memorize.
What I love about pai gow is that for bankroll preservation, there is nothing that beats it. The pace is slow at about 30 hands per hour, and 41% of hands result in a push. If you are a pale-face, like me, you’ll impress the dealer and some other players that you even understand it. However, some Asians immediately leave the table when I sit down, as if I’m unlucky. Don’t be scared to try the game, even if you know nothing about the rules. You can always ask the dealer to set your hands according to the “house way.” Better yet, keep reading to learn more about the game.
