Super Pai Gow™ is the high-action game pai gow always wanted to be, while also eliminating commissions and turning pushes into wins. The player now shows a win on 57% of hands under theoretically optimal play, making Super Pai Gow™ the only game on the casino floor in which the player can be a favorite to win!

Super Pai Gow™ is simply pai gow, except you start with four cards and bet 1x-4x the Ante or fold; if you bet, you receive your final three cards and set a five-card high hand and two-card low hand as in regular pai gow.

The dealer gets eight cards instead of seven, but the Ante pays 1 to 1 in the event of a push -- in other words, the player now wins on pushes.


Play the demo below. To begin, select a chip denomination and place in the Ante betting circle along with any optional side wagers, and then click the "Deal" button. Enjoy!

Sidebets
Super Pai Gow™ also features two 
distinct side bets:

- Seven Card Hand: A standard bet on the best five-card poker hand using any combination of the player's seven cards, topping out at 5,000-to-1 for a natural 7-card straight flush.
- Dealer's 8th Card: A set of three options to bet on the value of the dealer's discard. The player may choose more than one option (e.g. the player might bet both the "2,4" and "3,10" options, or both the "2,4" and the "Field" options, or the "3,10" and "Field options").
