Pai Gow is an ancient Chinese domino game that dates back to the Song Dynasty. It has multiple versions, popular ones being Pai Gow and Pai Gow Poker. The simplified version of the game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards plus one Joker, which makes 53 cards. The objective is to split up the seven cards that are dealt to you into two hands of five and two cards. The hand with five cards would be called the "High Hand" while the two-card would be called the "Low Hand". The dealer also gets seven cards to make two hands, and the point is to win at least one of the two hands against the dealer. The hands are ranked according to standard poker rankings. Each player bets against the dealer, and in some cases against other players.
