I’ll admit it. I like playing Pai Gow, but it can be lonely. Walk through just about any Vegas casino and you’ll do some work to spot the Pai Gow table(s). This “Americanized” version of an ancient Chinese game isn’t as popular as it should be.

Pai Gow is growing among gamblers, but in the real world of limited floor space, it still takes a backseat to Craps, Blackjack, Roulette, and even Three-Card Poker. I think many players stay away, because the name of the game confuses them. Pai Gow just sounds intimidating, but it isn’t.

I’ll submit to you that learning to play Pai Gow is fairly straightforward and simple. If you learn to play, I’ll bet that you’ll be having a lot of fun with the game right out of the gate.

The Pai Gow Table

Pai Gow is played on a table that’s similar to Blackjack. So, if you play Blackjack, this should make it more comfortable for you to start. The game has six seats for six players and the dealer spot, which is at the top of the table just like Blackjack.

Each player’s spot has three game areas, which are vertically one after the other. The first game area is where you put your wagers and this spot is on the top. Next, you have two areas for your cards. You see, once you get your cards, you’ll split them into two hands-this is where the magic happens.

The two card areas in Pai Gow are for your highest hand-bottom game area-and the 2nd highest. These are two hands that you’ll create. This is where strategy plays in and we’ll go over all of this in other Pai Gow articles on this site. Right now, let’s just concentrate on some simple basics and build a good foundation for enjoying this fun game.

Quick Play Information

I’m not going to run down play in detail here, but I will in other articles on this site. Let’s go over the general play flow of Pai Gow.

Pai Gow is played with a regular 52-card deck, like Blackjack can be, but there’s one change. Pai Gow uses one joker card. If you’ve played poker or video poker, you’re already set, because the winning hands work pretty much the same way-we’ll go over this and the couple of differences in another article.

Even though there are other players in the game (possibly), everyone is playing against the dealer-just like in Blackjack. You’re betting that your hands will beat the banker’s hands.

Ah, now here’s where we need to pause. I said the banker’s hand. Unlike Blackjack, players can get the opportunity to be the banker. As a player, you can accept or decline when it’s your turn to be the bank. But, again, I’ll go over this in more detail in another article.

Get Excited

I hope you’re curiosity is up just a little. Pai Gow is an exciting game to play and I’ll be teaching all the ins and outs on this site.

The most common form of the online casino is obtaining downloadable software usually for free once the gambler surfs to any online casino on the internet. In fact, many sites offer the download as an automatic process to encourage gamblers to play for fun or money, besides bonuses and other incentives.

An online casino offers as the main advantage, to allow you to take the gambling room to the comfort of your home by just installing the software that connects to the online casino service, which handles all contact without any browser support. This makes any game easy and faster to play. Audio, video and graphics reside inside the application and there you will not have any waiting time for the games to load as you do when you are playing through the web browser.

Downloadable software offered by an online casino may include a single game or a number of popular games including poker, video poker, blackjack, baccarat, slot machines, roulette, and craps, among the most popular casino games, also available outside many land-based casinos where they are playable on simulation machines.

As soon as the first online casinos started to operate, online casino software began its development. One of the first companies producing casino games was Random Logic, founded in 1996 and currently licensing its software consisting of 6 video poker games, 5 progressive jackpots and 15 new slots, to Cassava Enterprises with exclusive rights.

This company also implements and develops online transaction processing systems and other tools for tracking and analyzing internet-marketing campaigns, including but not limited to the gambling industry. This is another branch of online casino software for gamblers seeking to analyze their chances to win.

Casino software generally provides a predictable long-term advantage to the house, but offering the gambler possibilities of a large short-term payout. The advantage of online casino software is the way gamblers get an illusion of control with the given choices, although such choices do not eliminate the long-term disadvantage risk, or in other words the house advantage.

Some gambling companies are developers of their own software, for example, CTXM a software company with roots in the Insurance financial area and owner of gaming related domains operating since 1997. CTXM not only develops internet payment systems for several of the biggest online gaming companies but also online casino software including sportsbooks, race books, and casino platforms, system maintenance and other projects including security consulting and game application development with a Microsoft Xbox Division.

At the present, the gambling industry has listed a large number of online casino software developers including companies like Dynamite Idea, WagerLogic, NetEnt, Sunfish, Digital Gaming Solutions, Parlay Entertainment, Gamesys, Dobrosoft, IGW Software, Eclipse Gaming, Boss Media, IQ-Ludorum, SkillJam Technologies Corporation, World Gaming, Ongame, vsGaming, RealTime Gaming, Chartwell Technology, Microgaming, Orbis Technology, Finsoft, Wirex and Electracade just to name a few.
