Pai Gow Poker has quite a few differences to Basic Poker, but the end result is very similar.
Pai Gow Poker uses 53 Cards including the Joker which doubles up as an Ace,
or to complete a Flush, Straight Flush or Straight. 7 Cards are dealt to the Player who must Split the cards into one 5 Card Hand and one 2 Card Hand.
A 2 Card Hand can be either 2 single cards or a pair.
The player must then make a 5 Card Hand with the 7 Cards which have a higher score than the 2 Card Hand. - If the Players 5 Card Hand is better than the Dealers 5 Card Hand,
and the Players 2 Card Hand beats the Dealers 2 Card Hand, then the Player Wins. - If the Dealers 5 Card Hand beats the Players 5 Card Hand,
and the Dealer's 2 Card Hand beats the players 2 Card Hand, then the Dealer Wins. - If the Player and the Dealer win 1 hand each, the result is called a Push,
and the Player receives their original bet. - If the Player sets the Cards so the 5 Card Hand outscores the 2 Card Hand,
then the Player fouls and the Dealer wins automatically.
