Hands used in the Poker Pai Gow are practically the same that in the normal Poker. As recall, according to a diminishing order, hands are 5 Ace formed by 4 Aces and by a joker, royal Fifth formed by an Ace, by a King, by a Lady, by a Manservant and by one 10 of the same colour, Fifth Flush formed by 5 consecutive cards of the same colour, Square formed by 4 cards of the same value, Full formed by 3 cards of the same value and d' 1 pair, Flush composed of 5 cards of the same colour, Fifth composed of 5 consecutive cards and of any colours, Brelan formed by 3 cards of the same value as well as Double Pair formed by 2 pairs and Pair composed of 2 cards of the same value. When none of these combinations comes out again, the hand is named High Card, according to the card the strongest in this hand in question.
Game begins when each puts his bet on the table, what drives to a distribution of 7 cards faces discovered to every player, except the croupier who accepts 7 cards hidden faces. A table of Poker Pai Gow can therefore welcome several players at the same time and these last all are compared to the croupier, who represents the casino.
Each is later required to constitute 2 hands from these 7 cards, by making sure that the high hand is stronger than the low hand. So by accident, you do not succeed in dividing your cards properly, there is " dead hand " and one will ask you for it to correct your division. The croupier turns his cards to form the two hands that when other players will have put the hands with face hidden on the table.
They confront then your high hand with that of the croupier, as well as your low hand which will also be confronted with his. You lose when both hands of the croupier are stronger than yours or when one of both hands of the croupier is stronger than yours and what your remaining hand and that of the croupier are identical.
It is necessary to note that the highest possible combination for the low hands is a pair and a pair of Ace in this case. If the player wins facing the croupier, he recovers his bet to which is added a benefit equivalent to this sum in question.
