Pai Gow is a Chinese gambling game played with a set of 32 Chinese dominoes. It is believed to have originated from the game of Chinese Dominoes that was first invented around 1,000A.D. The game is unknown in Vietnam but is gaining attention recently in the online gaming world.
In Pai Gow, players compete against each other to build the best combination possible. Each player gets four tiles, and they must combine those tiles into two hands of two tiles each. The goal of the game is to come up with a combination of hands that can beat the banker's combination.
Players can opt to bet on their own hand or another player's hand - the winner or losers being determined by who has the best combination of the two hands.
