What Pai Gow Poker by Pokerist offers
Pai Gow Poker by Pokerist is a casino card game built around Pai Gow Poker, played against the house dealer. Each round you are dealt seven cards and must set them up as two separate hands. It suits people who want the table game on a phone and are comfortable with the basic rules of Pai Gow.
The core task is the split. Your five-card hand has to outrank your two-card hand, and you need both hands to beat the dealer's to win the full round. The listing leaves the choice of how to split entirely to the player.
Splitting seven cards into two hands
Each round you build a five-card hand and a two-card hand from the seven cards you are dealt. The five-card hand must be stronger than the two-card hand, which is the main rule to keep in mind when you arrange them. Both hands are then compared against the dealer's.
Because only the arrangement is in your control, the game is mostly about how you read your seven cards and where you put them. The listing describes this as refining your strategy over repeated rounds.
Side bets and the insurance bet
Side bets pay out regardless of who wins the main hand. A side bet wins when your cards form any combination from three of a kind and up, so it gives you a second way to collect chips in the same round.
The insurance bet is a separate wager that pays out even when your cards do not make a combination at all. This matters in Pai Gow Poker, where a hand without a combination would otherwise lose against the dealer.
How the joker changes your hands
Every Pai Gow Poker deck in the game includes one joker. The joker can stand in for a missing card to complete a straight or a flush. If your cards form no combination at all, the joker takes the place of an ace instead.
Because the joker can complete a straight or flush, it can change which cards you choose to keep in each hand. It is a single card in each deck, not a wild card that can be used in any position.
Free chips for daily play
The game gives free chips to players who play every day. Chips are the currency you use to place the main bet, the side bets and the insurance bet.
The listing does not describe any other way to get chips, so daily play is the only source it names.
