Pai Gow Poker
Seven cards, two hands, and the slowest, friendliest grind in the pit.
Pai Gow Poker deals you seven cards to arrange into a five-card high hand and a two-card low hand — the high hand must outrank the low. The dealer sets theirs by the fixed house way, both matchups compare server-side, and winning both pays even money minus the classic 5% commission.
No deposits · no purchases · no withdrawals · no redemptions · no prizes · no cash value.
How a round works
Pai Gow Poker
- 1
Bet tokens, take your seven cards, and split them into a five-card high hand and a two-card low hand.
- 2
The dealer's seven cards are set by the fixed house way — no discretion, no reads — and both matchups resolve server-side.
- 3
Win both hands and collect 1 : 1 less the 5% commission; lose both and the bet goes; split one each and it's a push — all settled to the ledger.
The odds, honestly
Two fights per round — and four rounds in ten end in a handshake.
| Bet / outcome | Chance | Pays |
|---|---|---|
| Win both hands | win both ≈ 28.6% | 1 : 1 less 5% commission |
| One hand each (push) | ≈ 41.5% of rounds push | — |
House edge
With the 5% commission, Pai Gow carries about a 2.7% house edge — but the headline is the variance, or the lack of it: roughly 41.5% of rounds push outright, so tokens move slower here than anywhere else in the house. You'll win both hands about 28.6% of the time; the rest is the house way grinding its small, steady cut.
Fair play, by construction
- Every outcome is drawn server-side and settled into the ledger — nothing is decided in your browser.
- Rules and paytables live in reviewable contracts; the same math runs for every player.
- Play tokens only: whatever the odds say, nothing here is ever worth money.
