PROFILE


In two moves, Super Pai Gow™ breaks the mold of pai gow and its commission-free variants and turns pai gow into an action game with the highest win frequency of any casino game yet devised. Super Pai Gow™ boosts the average bet to 2.42 units per hand from the flat 1-unit wager of regular pai gow. Meanwhile, where in regular pai gow the player only wins on 29.2% of hands and pushes another 40.4% of the time, the player wins on 56.9% of hands in Super Pai Gow™ (and never pushes), making Super Pai Gow™ the only casino game in which the player is a favorite to show a net win.
 
Meanwhile, Super Pai Gow™ manages to cut the adj. house advantage of pai gow in half, down to 1.14% per unit wagered (or of all money wagered), compared to a range of 2.47%-2.51% for regular pai gow and its variants.

​In addition, Super Pai Gow™ is the first casino poker game to achieve as much as a 1x-4x play bet range on a single forced bet, and while using no qualifier of any kind to boot. As a result, the 4x max bet in Super Pai Gow™ is a true 4x the original wager, whereas the 4x max-bet in Ultimate Texas Hold'em (UTH) is only 2x the initial wager, given that UTH requires two forced bets to begin the game.
