Pai Gow, originating in ancient China, is an exciting form of dominoes that has become increasingly popular in the Italian mobile casino market. This two-handed game pits the player against the banker in a battle to form the strongest possible poker hand.
The game is deceptively simple to play, as the player is only required to make two poker hands out of the seven cards they are dealt: one five-card hand and one two-card hand. The five-card hand must be stronger than the two-card hand, otherwise the player automatically loses the round. The ranking of the hands is the same as in standard five-card draw poker, with a royal flush being the strongest combination.
