Pai Gow is a popular casino game that originated in China and is widely enjoyed in Uruguay. It is usually played with dominoes, tiles, or cards. The game is simple to learn, and many players in Uruguay find it to be quite entertaining.
In Pai Gow, players compete against the casino to complete a hand that is higher than the casino's. The goal is to arrange two two-piece hands that are composed of both a low and a high hand. The highest ranking card in the low hand is also the highest ranking card in the high hand. The dealer will then reveal their own two-card hands, and the player's combined hand is compared to the dealer's.
If the player's combined hand is higher, they win the bet. If the dealer's combination is higher, the player loses. In cases of a tie, the house generally retains the bet.
