Pai Gow is an ancient Chinese game thatās been around for centuries. Originally, the game was played with 32 dominoes by 4 players, but today itās played with cards. In the modern game, players take turns as the banker and compete against the other players on the table.
The game objective is to make two hands out of the four cards given and beat the bankerās hands. The strength of each hand is determined by ranking based on the poker hand ranking system. The highest-ranking 5-card hand is made up of a pair of aces, followed by a straight flush then a four-of-a-kind. The lowest-ranking hand is a pair of twos, followed by a single face card then a high card.
