Fix this and maybe there will be a higher rating. ### 1/5 — Awful!! *2014-03-04, version 1.8* Dealer does not set his hands correctly. Doesn't follow basic pai gow rules. Don't even bother. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time *2013-09-01, version 1.7* Don't waste your time. They give u chips to start but take them all so you will buy more. ### 2/5 — Lame business model *2013-05-16, version 1.5* The game becomes useless if you lose all your chips, unless you pay real money. Pay $2 towards one of the better Pai Gow apps ### 2/5 — Chips *2013-04-21* Would love to play more buy if you lose all your chips the only way to replenish them is to buy them. ### 2/5 — Bonus not correct *2013-03-14, version 1.4* There is a bonus for premium hands, but only if you win both hands. Also, you cannot bet the bonus separately. And if you split your bonus hand it does not count. ### 1/5 — Only 3000 Chips free. *2013-02-16, version 1.3* After you lose, have to buy more. ### 2/5 — Classic pai gow poker *2013-01-27, version 1.3* Hint feature good. However, no joker or bonus features? Game should emulate actual game played in Vegas. ### 1/5 — Bad *2012-08-21, version 1.0* Do not get this app. It often shows a win or loss when it isn't and after you use your first 3000 coins you have to buy more. You seem to lose a lot more once you buy so you have to buy even more to keep playing. Not worth it!! ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2012-06-30, version 1.0* NO, I am not going to buy chips to continue playing the game. My guess is this is a veiled attempt at gambling & it probably violates several laws. Not random either. Deleting this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate the new format *2022-03-25, version 6.0* Not sure when this happened but I don’t want to login and I don’t like the new look using the just play option. 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Boring! *2014-05-03, version 1.8* Too predictable and boring. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Ads *2014-04-05, version 1.8* How do I get rid of the ads?????? ### 5/5 — Great practice for Vegas *2012-10-13, version 1.0* Simple, fun, great game. For those that gave bad reviews: Some may not realize that the suits have an order -that's why they think the game is wrong. Also, if you lose 3000 chips (!!!) and need to buy more, then it's a good thing you aren't playing for money! Try playing one chip at a time until you know what you're doing! ### 4/5 — Wonderful App Support *2014-10-31, version 1.8* My chips did not transfer to my new iPad. This has happened before. I had 100,000 chips. Where did they go? Need help, and thanks! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2014-10-13, version 1.8* Fun app if you like pai gow. Occasional errors are noticed - loser and tied splits result in a push, falsely giving player a small edge. Occasionally the dealer makes an error in setting hand, i.e. Choosing the wrong card for the small hand when dealt a 6 card straight. I turned the 3000 into 2.2 million so I am a little suspicious of the overall algorithm used. Otherwise I would quit my job and move to Vegas! ### 4/5 — Chips? What... *2012-11-14, version 1.1* Wish I knew ahead of time you have to buy chips once you run out. Game was fine but definitely different than the casino version. I just couldn't believe I had to buy more chips after losing. I wouldn't have play so recklessly! ### 3/5 — Not worth it *2012-07-11, version 1.0* Where can you play a Paigow hand and AJ beats AQ? In this game it's possible! The schematics are off and some hand that should be a loss are winners and vice versa. **beware** after your free $3000 chips are spent, you must purchase more chips if you choose to continue playing! (reinstalling doesn't reset it either) I will stick to playing the free version I have on my droid! ### 3/5 — Confusing *2012-06-16, version 1.0* Too hard to tell when you have won or lost. I have won hands I thought I lost based on the cards, and it has gone the other way too. I've played a lot of Paigow, and it was less confusing in Vegas. ### 2/5 — Bad cards *2013-12-28, version 1.8* I have never gotten as many pai gows when playing for real. ### 2/5 — Game lover *2013-06-13, version 1.6* Fun to play, but when u lose all ur chips u need to purchase more...straight ripoff!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
