The game of pai gow is easy to learn and the pai gow
poker rules are even easier. The game is played with
a deck of 52 cards, counting one joker. This joker is
a wild card but it can only be used as an Ace or to
total a Straight, Straight Flush or Royal Flush. Ranks
and values of the hands are the same as in basic Poker.
Subsequent to you placing your bet, merely done by placing
a chip in front of you on the table, each player and
the dealer will get seven cards. Now you have to split
up your seven cards into two hands.

One hand with five cards and one with
two cards. The only thing you always have to think when
splitting up your hand is: the five card hand must always
outrank the two card hand.
For example: You have a pair of sixes and a pair of
eights in your original hand. The pair of sixes must
go into the two card hand and the eights have to be
in the five card hand. If your two card hand ranks higher
than your five cards you automatically lose the game.
Once all the players have arranged their cards the dealer
will turn over his cards and split them up as well.
He must also arrange them in the same way you just did,
with the five cards higher than the two. The objective
of the game is for both of the players hands to rank
higher than both of the dealers hands. After the dealer
has split up his cards he starts to compare his cards
with the players hands in turn.
