Pai Gow is a traditional Chinese domino game which has found its way into mobile casinos in Malta. It is a game of skill and patience, and an exciting variation on the classic poker game. The rules of Pai Gow at mobile casinos in Malta are simple but can take a while to master.
To begin a game of Pai Gow, a player must make a bet. The amount of the bet is determined by the table they are playing at. The game consists of two rounds; the first round is the setting round, during which players arrange their hand to the best of their ability. During the setting round, the player must divide their seven tiles into two hands; one with five tiles, and one with two tiles. The five-tile hand is placed in front and is called the big hand, while the two-tile hand is placed behind and is known as the small hand.
After all players have set their hands, the second round begins, during which all players compare their hands with the dealer's. In Pai Gow, players must beat both the dealer's small and big hands to win. If the player has a higher-ranking hand than the dealer, the player wins the bet. However, if the player gets a lower-ranking hand than the dealer, they lose the bet.
