FACE UP PAI GOW POKER – RULES
Face Up Pai Gow Poker is played with a 53-card deck (52 cards plus one joker). You and the dealer each receive 7 cards, and all dealer cards are dealt face up.
Start
Make a Play bet (main wager). Optional side bets are Fortune and Ace-High.
Set Hands
Each 7-card hand is set into a 5-card high hand and a 2-card low hand. The high hand must be higher than the low hand. Invalid splits are not allowed.
Auto-Set My Hand
This setting is checked by default. When checked, your hand auto-sets to beat the dealer's split when possible; otherwise it auto-sets the house way. When unchecked, cards stay in deal order so you can set your own split manually.
Main Bet Timing
The main Play wager is placed before the deal. There is no additional raise/fold step after setting hands.
Main Bet Resolution
To win the Play wager, both your high hand and low hand must beat the dealer. If one hand wins and one loses, it's a push. Dealer wins all ties. No commission.
Dealer Ace-High
If the dealer qualifies as Ace-High Pai Gow, the main game is an automatic push (Play wager returned). Side bets still resolve normally.
Hand Ranking Note
In this version, Three of a Kind ranks higher than a Straight.
