You are often dealt hands that can be set in different ways. This is a built-in advantage for the Dealer hand but at the California Grand Casino every player gets a chance to bet on the Dealer hand. The Dealer wins any 2 or 5-card hands that tie. If the Dealer wins both hands, the Dealer wins. If you win one hand and the Dealer wins one hand, you push, which happens about 40% of the time. If both your hands rank higher than the Dealer’s two hands, you win. The hands are ranked using standard poker hand rankings, i.e., straight flushes, 4 of a kind, a full house, flush, straight, two pair etc… The object of the game is to set your hands so that both your hands defeat both the Dealer’s hands. Your 2-card hand plays against the Dealer 2-card hand and your 5-card hand plays against the Dealer 5-card hand. Your 5-card hand must outrank your 2-card hand. You separate your 7 cards into a 2-card and a 5-card poker hand. PAI GOW POKER IS A VERY SIMPLE GAME TO LEARN AND PLAY. You can also wager on the Dealer hand and have the advantage of playing against all the other players. In our Bay Area Pai Gow Poker game, the Joker is fully wild - it can be any card - and can be used to make any hand, not just as an Ace or to complete straights or flushes, giving you more ways to make a winning hand. Our Pai Gow (Double-Hand) Poker game is fun and exciting to play.
