Pai Gow is a game that is enjoyed by tens of thousands of players worldwide, and there are several types of Pai Gow that can be found in Belgium. The game is played with a regular 52-card deck and uses a joker, which serves as a wild card. The objective of the game is to create two separate hands that beat both of the dealer’s hands.
At the start of the game, the players place their bets before the cards are dealt. The dealer then deals seven cards to each player, one at a time. Players must then decide how to divide their cards into two separate hands. The first hand contains two cards and is called the low hand, while the other contains five cards and is called the high hand. Players must make sure that the five-card hand is higher than the two-card hand, as according to the rules of the game, this hand is the one in which the value is calculated.
Once the hands are set, players must compare both of their hands to the dealer’s. If both of their hands are higher than the dealer’s, the players win according to the payout structure. On the other hand, if the dealer’s hands outrank the players’ hands, then the dealer wins.
