Pai Gow is a poker variation based on the Chinese game. A pack of 52 cards plus one joker is used. The joker is a wild card that can be used as an Ace, or to complete straight, flush or a straight flush.

Before the deal, the player makes his/her bet. Seven cards are dealt to the player. The player looks at his cards and divides them to form two hands, a two-card hand and a five-card hand. The relative values of the 5 hand cards are the same as in poker, with the five aces beating a royal flush. And a A,2,3,4,5 straight being rated the second highest straight after A,K,Q,J,10. For the two-card hand, any pair beats any two unmatched cards, but no other combinations are possible. The player must arrange the cards so that the 5-card hand is higher than the two-card hand (if the two cards were a pair of aces, the five card hand would have to contain two pairs or better).

When the player is are ready, he/she clicks on the "Done" button and the dealer's cards will be exposed. The dealer forms the seven cards into a five-card hand and a two-card hand in the same way as a player.

The result between the dealer and the player is determined by comparing the player's five-card hand and the player's two-card hand vs. the dealers 2 card hand.
