Game Rules Paigow is a comparing card game played between the player and the dealer. The goal of the game is to divide a seven-card hand into a left hand with five cards and a right hand with two cards. The pattern of the left hand must be greater than that of the right hand. If each hand of the player is higher than that of the dealer respectively, the player wins. If each hand of the player is lower than that of the dealer respectively, the player loses. In other cases it is a tie between the player and the dealer, and the player's bets are returned. Paigow is dealt from a shoe containing one deck of cards inclusive of 52 cards plus one joker. The joker is a wild card which can be used only as an ace, or to complete a straight, a flush or a straight flush. For each round, seven cards are dealt face up to each hand, starting from the player and alternating between the hands. After the player divides his hand cards, the comparing rules are applied to determine who is the winner. The round is then finished, the outcome is announced and winning bets are paid out.

Sorry, delete! ### 1/5 — New version 6.0 is unfavorable *2022-03-24, version 6.0* I spend long hour to play paigow tournament version 3.0 and I love it The new version wipe out all my chip credit and score I hate the new interface and their new game that much and I uninstall the app ### 5/5 — Snake1946 *2019-03-09, version 2.7* This is a great training game. It duplicates very much pia gow in casinos. You must understand the game, the dealer does get a lot of good hands because there are seven cards dealt to choose from. You have to learn how to split the two hands. In a casino there are a lot of ties which allows you to stay at the table a lot longer. Love the game. ### 1/5 — This is bs *2019-02-14, version 2.7* This game has no form of randomness, 75% of the time u will not win, and u cant increase your skill at this by playing this game ### 1/5 — Pai gow *2017-07-31, version 2.2* This is the worst game I have ever played. The dealer gets aces almost every hand. They also constantly get great hands. I will not recommend this to anyone. Ive never seen the dealer get so many full houses. ### 1/5 — House way? *2016-09-03, version 2.0* Who wrote this game? Have they ever played? Horrible ### 1/5 — Terrible *2016-03-18, version 2.0* Awful game. Don't even bother. ### 1/5 — Just ok *2015-07-09, version 1.8* This game reminds me of Chevy Chase in Vegas Vacation, the dealer always wins. ### 1/5 — Why? *2015-03-14* Prior to update, it was good. Now they want to charge you $1.29 for 2000 worth of chips. Hmm will you exchange chips for cash? Definitely a money gouging model. It's DELETED from my iPhone. ### 1/5 — requires chip purchase *2015-01-28, version 1.8* beware this game does not state in app purchases are required. Once you lose the only way to continue playing is to pay. ## Frequently asked questions about Classic Paigow Poker ### What is Classic Paigow Poker?
