Pai Gow is a popular casino game that originated in China. It's a game of strategy and luck that requires players to make decisions on how to arrange their tiles. In Cambodia, Pai Gow is a common game among mobile casinos, where players can play on the go.
The goal of Pai Gow is to create two hands out of four tiles, with each having a higher value than the dealer. Each tile contains two characters, with the higher character dominating over the lower one. Each hand is then compared to the dealer's hand and the winner is determined by the higher value.
To start the game, up to six players must make equal bets. Then, the dealer distributes four tiles to every player and the house dealer will receive eight tiles. Each player must arrange their tiles into two hands, with one hand having two tiles and the other having the remaining two.
After all players have arranged their tiles, the house dealer will distribute his eight tiles into two hands. The house will then compare all the players' hands to its own and the winners are determined. Players can win if both their hands beat the house dealer's hands or if one hand out of their two beats the house dealer's hand.
