I've never seen the Bellagio house way, but I checked four of the house ways I do have, and three of them would have done as the Bellagio did and not split the pairs, because both pairs were sixes or less. According to my two pair strategy, splitting them would have been the better play.
The order of setting the hands doesn't matter mathematically. I don't see any legitimate dispute here.I noticed a similar weird thing too and posted about it regarding Baccarat, where the set rules for the dealer will mean making the Banco hand lose, taking another card, when it had already won. So it is just something that plays out in Casinos due to the need to have these House Ways, which I think I can see is necessary. The Wizard has to be right, technically there is no foul here.
In the case you cite, it would give a feeling of outrage to see it if you didnt understand the bit about House Way. You're right, maybe it makes to set the Dragon Hand first, especially for some folk who would become convinced they got screwed on purpose.
Did anyone 'lose it' over this?Although I play Pai Gow Poker, the Dragon hand is not something I've seen before. But, based on what I read here, I agree with the Wiz that it doesn't matter which is set first, since both are set 'House Way'.
HOWEVER, I agree with you that the Dragon hand should have been set before the dealer hand, and here's why:
If a player is unsure about their own hand, and wants the dealer to set the hand for them, it is done before exposing the dealer's cards.
The Dragon hand should be thought of as a player that needs help every time.
Therefore, the sequence should be that players set their hands first, then the dealer helps any players that request it, then the Dragon hand, and LAST the dealer hand is set.
(The exception would be when a player needs help during a hand that another player is banking. Since the player/banker does NOT need to set his hand house way, the procedure is for him to set his hand before exposing the hand of the player that needs help. So in that case, the sequence is other players set their hands, the player/banker set his hand without exposing it, the dealer helps the players that need help, the Dragon hand is set, then the player/banker hand is exposed.)
The point is, there is a reason for the sequence, and that sequence should dictate that in the hand you describe, the hands were set out of order. But since both were House Way, no foul occurred.
---
If you question whether the dealer set the Dragon hand, or their own hand, correctly, you should be able to ask to see the House Way rules. It probably won't be a take-away copy, but still something you can see.

I, and one other at the table, set our hands and decided to buy the dragon hand.

Is that right?
You get to see your own cards before deciding to bet on the Dragon hand?
While I don't know how having the knowledge of one hand (or even several hands if playing multiple hands and/or peeking at neighbors) can help, it just seems counter-intuitive to be given that option after seeing your cards.
After all, when playing multiple hands, a player is required to set the hand with the biggest bet first. So although such knowledge seems irrelevant, it's not so irrelevant to the casino!I agree with ddloml that they should be setting the dragon hand first, even if for no other reason than to remove the appearance of impropriety when the dealer sets a two-pair hand so that the house wins, when splitting the pairs would have resulted in a house loss.

Yes, that is right.Papa -
Your two separate resolutions makes sense for the emotional aspect, but still seems to violate standard procedure.
It would make even more sense if they resolve the bets separately as well. Do they?

I too like double downs dealt down.
About 8 years ago, I was at a table at Gold Coast where the dealer was taking a lot of liberties, including dealing double downs down. It was screwing with my head because it wasn't proper procedure, although I did enjoy it more. I.E. Emotionally it was better.

Pai Gow Poker has been around for a long time. With a large number of players, this game has become one of the most popular games in casinos today.

The reason why the card game has such a great appeal, in addition to the simple rules of the game, there is also an interest in the game experience that only insiders can understand.

If you want to learn how to play, we will cover the basic rules and strategies of the Poker game Pai Gow in this article.

Stay tuned!

What is Pai Gow Poker?

Pai Gow Poker is also known as Chinese Domino. This is a traditional folk game. Pai Gow rules are actually very difficult to play, but strangely appealing to players.

It is a table with lots of Domino pieces, each with its own score. The dominoes are shuffled and divided equally among the players. The player wins if there is a hand with the highest score pair.

This is a game where players have to use their minds to think about the move, patiently waiting for the right moment. It looks easy at first glance, but it’s actually not easy at all.

The Pai Gow hand is dealt seven cards and divided into 2 hands. Anterior has 2 hands and 5 hands in lower. To win, you must have 2 hands stronger than your opponent’s 2 hands.

Note: The anterior hand should not be stronger than the lower hand.

The Pai Gow card game is played with 52 cards plus 1 joker card. A total of 53 leaves. The Joker can be used as an Ace, or any card to complete a straight or flush set, with 5 Aces (or 4 Aces and 1 joker) being the strongest.

History Of Pai Gow Poker

If you have ever learned about the high-end entertainment world at casinos, the name Pai Gow Poker is not too strange. This is a game associated with cards that are said to be easy to play and understand.

This casino game is an American version of the game Pai Gow. The Pai Gow Poker game was created in 1985 by a Bell Card club owner named Sam Toroi San.

Based on the Pusoy game played by a Filipino client, Sam realized that a game with 13 was that the player had to arrange 3 players too slowly.
So, Sam created a 7-card version with 2 players. This way it will be much easier to play.

From there, the game quickly gained popularity. And in the late 1980s was played in Las Vegas, and finally around the world.

Variants Of The Pai Gow Poker Game

There are several variations of the Pai Gow Poker table game that are also popular. These variations were formed mainly in the years 2004 – 2009.

• Pai Gow Mania: Pai Gow Mania is the first variant. They allow for 2-side betting instead of the traditional 1-side betting per player.
• Fortune Pai Gow: It allows side bets to be placed on a Poker player ranking. This is rated as one of the most popular variants.
• Emperors Challenge: Bet on 1 7 card side (no players).

Basic rules when playing Pai Gow Poker

Pai Gow is a game between the players and the Dealer. Each game consists of a dealer and an unlimited number of players.

The game has 4 positions. The dominoes are shuffled, aligned, and scripted.

The Dealer rolls the dice to determine the order in which the cards are dealt. Domino cards are dealt 4 cards respectively to the player.

After receiving the cards, the player must put them in 2 rows. The previous row is cards of low value.

The player matches the rows against the Dealer. If a player’s 2 hands hit the Dealer’s 2 hands, they win. If the player’s 2 rows both lose, they will lose money. And 1 lose, 1 win counts as a tie.

Detailed Guide To Play Pai Gow Poker

For those who are new to playing Pai Gow Poker, it can be quite difficult. However, the article below will provide information that makes it easier to understand.

First, players bet. The Dealer then deals cards to each player and to themselves.

However, the first hand decided at random by a random number generator will choose a number between 1 and 9. Or a set of three dice totaling 3 -18. The dealer box is traditionally 1.

Then comes the player squares. Then go back to the Dealer’s box, which is the number 8. In the end, there is no advantage to which box accepts which cards.

The Pai Gow Poker game’s goal is to create a larger hand than the Dealer. And no matter how you arrange your hand so that the 5-card hand is 2-card higher than the low hand.

If you happen to forget to make the correct hand, you will lose money immediately. Because it is a violation post, be precise when placing your cards!

If you want to increase your chances of winning, a player must beat both the Dealer’s cards and vice versa. For example, a player holds an Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Q.

They should arrange their hand this way: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (straight) for the high hand, and A – Q for low post.

Suppose the Dealer holds an Ace, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, K. They will also arrange their high hand of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and the low hand is A, K. In that case, the two higher cards are called a “copy”, and actually, the house wins.

Then the Dealer’s A – K pair wins the player’s A – Q pair. So the Dealer wins this bet. The player does not have this advantage. If there is a copy and the player’s low hand wins the Dealer’s low hand. The overall result is a push.

The Odds Of Pai Gow Poker

Pai Gow Poker has a 1.46% house margin. That number means that (with an infinite stake over an indefinite period), the bettor is expected to lose 1.46% of the amount in their Pai Gow Poker account.

It also tells you how much you are expected to lose. Here is an example of how these odds can affect the amount of money in your account.

With an average of 180 hands per hour, an online Pai Gow Poker player wagering $ 1 per game is expected to lose $ 2.52 per hour of play.

Remember that this number is estimated when you play with the ideal strategy.

This is a great strategy page for Pai Gow Poker.

Results Occurring During Play

If both player’s hands beat the dealer’s hand, then they win 1: 1 of their bet, minus the house’s 5% commission.

For example, if you wager $ 20, you can keep your stake plus $ 20 from the Dealer, minus the commission. So you will get paid $ 19.50 in addition to keeping your stake.

If only one of your cards beats the Dealer’s hand, the game is considered a push, and neither the Dealer nor the player wins. Players are allowed to keep their bets.

If both draw, the Dealer wins.

The 2-card card cannot be higher than the 5-card hand. If so, then both hands are considered a foul, and the player’s stake is collected.

The software will prompt you to correct your cards at some online casinos if you make this mistake, allowing you to continue playing.

If a player is the Dealer, they must have sufficient funds in their bank account to cover all the player’s bets.

In this case, the Dealer becomes the player and bets the same amount that the player or Dealer did in their last hand when the Dealer was the Dealer.

If the player’s hand wins while being the Dealer, the Dealer will still take 5% of their commission, but this time the net winnings instead of each individual bet won.

If a player does not have enough in their bank account to cover or wishes not to cover the full amount, the Dealer has the option of half insurance.

In this case, the player/dealer must set the hand according to the Dealer’s Play, just as the Dealer would. Again, check your table’s rules to see if this is an option or not.

Strategy When Playing Pai Gow Poker

The Dealer has a specific dealer-method for handing, and a player can almost tie with the Dealer by following the same rules for hand placement.

If you are unsure of the best way to play, the Dealer will help you by suggesting the casino dealer’s layout.

However, remember that the casino will always play their hand to reduce risk, instead of trying to win every game. Players sometimes forget this.

Because the highest low hand (2 cards) is an ace pair, you can play with an ace as the low hand so you cannot lose at any time. With this in mind, let’s say you have A-A-A-A-7-8-9.

You could lay four Aces with 7 in the high hand and 8-9 in the low hand, but you probably won’t win with this pair. Because you might think it’s better to have three Aces in the high hand with 7-8 and A-9 in the low hand.

But that is not the best card layout. It is better to always split, placing A-A-7-8-9 for the high hand and A-A for the low hand. If you do that, you won’t be beaten, and you should be happy when you win. That’s a good card.
