Pai Gow is a type of casino game that originated from an ancient Chinese game and is provided in many casinos in Austria. The aim of the game is to form two poker hands that can beat the banker’s hands. The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, plus one joker. It is important to remember that the joker card can only be used to complete a straight or flush.
The game starts with the player making a bet and receiving seven cards. The player must then split the cards into two hands, one consisting of two cards and the other consisting of five cards. The two-card hand must be a lower ranking combination compared to the five-card hand. If the player’s hands both beat the dealer's hands, then the player wins. If the player’s hands lose to the dealer’s hands, then the dealer wins.
