Pai Gow is a traditional Chinese game that is particularly popular in Uzbekistan's mobile casinos. It is a casino game played with 32 dominoes that are shuffled and divided among four players. Every player at the table is then expected to make two hands out of their chosen dominoes, a five-tile “high” hand and a two-tile “low” hand. The objective of the game is to make two hands that beat the dealer’s two hands.
The five-domino high hand must follow a certain structure and follow the same rules as a regular poker hand. It should contain two pairs or a single pair along with three singles. If the high hand does not follow these rules, then the high hand is referred to as a “foul” hand. When this happens, the two-tile low hand is invalid and the player instantly loses the round.
The two-domino low hand should contain a pair and the other domino should be a single. If the two-tile low hand contains two singles, then it is referred to as “no pair”, which automatically makes the player lose the round.
