Now, onto how you play.  Well, a Pai Gow table will actually accommodate up to six players and a dealer and while in regular poker, all the players play against one another, where in Pai Gow poker, all of the players play against the dealer.  Seven cards are dealt when you are playing this Chinese version and each player and the dealer themselves must form two poker hands.  A high hand of five cards and a low hand of two cards, keep that in mind.

Immediately, the two highest hands will win each hand and only a single player having the two highest hands can simultaneously win.  While this game is a little more complicated than regular poker, it is definitely worth it to try it!
