PLAYING PAI GOW POKER
On the Pai Gow opening screen, the arrow icon points to the
first of three chips at the bottom center of the screen: 10, 50, and
100. Use the DIRECTIONAL KEYPAD and the A button in any
combination to make a bet between $10 and $250, which is
automatically deducted from the BANK at the bottom right of
the screen and indicated in the BET box at the bottom left of the
screen. (In any hand following, you may choose the RE-BET
icon beneath the chips to make the same bet). When you are fin-
ished, use the DIRECTIONAL KEYPAD and the A button to
select DEAL. Seven cards are dealt face up. To play Pai Gow
Poker, divide the seven cards into two hands (using the tradi-
tional poker rankings on page 8): five cards in the high hand and
two cards in the low hand. Use the DIRECTIONAL KEYPAD
and the A button to select the two cards you want to place in the
Pai Gow Poker
inal bet is placed on the other hand, and they are played as two
separate hands (for example, one may lose and one may win).
Sometimes the dealer will show an Ace at the beginning of
the hand. An inset screen will appear, asking if you want to buy
INSURANCE. Insurance is a side bet equal to half of your orig-
inal bet, placed on the assumption that the dealer has Blackjack.
If he has Blackjack, the payout is 2-to-1, but you lose your orig-
inal bet. If he doesn't, you lose your INSURANCE bet and play
out the hand. Use the DIRECTIONAL KEYPAD and then A to
accept or reject the INSURANCE bet.
The WINNER is the player with the hand closest to, with-
out going over, 21. Winning a hand pays 1-to-1. If the dealer
and the player have the same value, the hand is a Push and the
player does not lose his bet. If you have Blackjack in your first
two cards (an Ace and a face card or a 10), the payout is 3-to-2,
unless the dealer also has Blackjack, in which case it is a Push.
CARD VALUES: Numerical cards have a value indicated
by their number. Kings, Queens, and Jacks are worth ten. Aces
can be worth one or eleven.
WINNING TIP:
Most professional Blackjack players consider
Insurance a poor bet.
PLAYING TIP: Clicking a chip with the B button will
reduce your bet by that denomination.
