How To Play Pai Gow

Today, we are going to show you how to play Pai Gow. This is a very ancient game, steeped in history, it's an old Chinese game which consists of 32 tiles which made up of 16 pairs, starting with Jijun which is the most powerful down to Chutmens, where everybody needs to make a high hand and a low hand based on the tiles given. You don't get to change any tile, you don't get to swap any.

The name of the game is Pai Gow, gow in Chinese means nine. That's the object of the game, to get near as nine as possible. T urn the tiles over and start the game up.

We start by semi-shuffling the tiles and then we stack the piles in a particular way. The player will chose their box, place their money in the box. The next thing we do before we start anything is rattle the shaker.

It always consists of three dices. The total number of these dices will determine where we push tiles out from, the first player to receive a hand. Okay, once all the tiles have been passed out, the shaker gets put away.

The player then will look at the tiles. There is an absolute set way to set the tiles for the house, but the player, you can chop and change. This is quite a good hand.

The high hand is going to be a pair. The first things you are going to look for are pairs. Knowing the ranking of the tile is majorly important.

If you don't know the ranking, it pretty much means nothing. You may have a five, I may have a five, but it's the ranking of who has the high five that matters. There is www dot paigow dot com; loads of important information for beginners up to intermediate.
