Paigow Poker
PaiGow Poker is a combination of the ancient Chinese game 'Paigow' - which is played with tiles - and the American card game Poker.
The objective of Paigow Poker is for both of the player's two hands (denoted the high and low hands) to rank higher than both of the Dealer's two hands. The player receives seven cards and makes two traditional poker hands - one of five cards (the high hand), another of two (the low hand).
The rankings of the two hands are based upon a basic poker ranking. Thus, the highest two-card hand is two aces and the highest five-card hand is Five Aces (4 aces and a Joker). The two hands of the player are compared with those of the Dealer and the payoff determined.
To win, a player needs to win with both the hands, the High Hand and the Low Hand against those of the Dealer's. Also, a player may place a bonus bet of $1 and he will get a payoff on the strength of the seven cards based on the payoff table given below. The bonus payoff is made irrespective of the arrangement of the Player's High and Low Hands and also irrespective of the game result.
