Pai Gow is an increasingly popular gambling game in Belarus, and its mobile version is available at dozens of local online casinos. The game resembles poker, but it is played with 32 tiles instead of cards. The object of the game is to have a higher hand value than the dealer.
Each game requires one joker or example tile. When playing against the dealer, the player will receive four tiles. The player then has to divide the tiles into two hands with two tiles each. Players can also opt to play with three tiles and one joker. After that, the player will compare their two hands against the dealer’s two hands.
The higher-value hand is called the “high” hand, and the lower-value hand is called the “low” hand. If the player’s high hand has a higher value than the dealer’s high hand, and the player’s low hand has a higher value than the dealer’s low hand, then the player wins the game. If only one of the hands has a higher value, then the game is a tie.
Payout rates vary from one casino to another. But in general, if the player wins both hands, they receive an even money payout. If the player wins one hand and the other is a tie, the player receives a 0.5 payout. If the player wins both hands but includes a joker in one of them, the payout is reduced to 0.75.
