Statistics is definitely not accurate with this one.
Does what it says on the tin
I'm very pleased with this app. It provides a very low-stakes environment within which to practice Pai Gow. I was happy to purchase the ad-free subscription because I feel that the developers have earned it. The only limitation I encountered was that it assumes a user is already well-versed in the game, though in fairness it doesn't advertise itself as a tutorial. I don't know how difficult implementing this might be, but I would love to see brief explanations for why "house way" is the way it is, and for why one combination of tiles is superior to another, especially when combinations only differ slightly.

Detailed analysis
This app is for the Chinese domino Pai Gow, the original, not the American poker like variants. There are 3 ways to play a Pai Gow hand, many hands involve tough decisions. The app has two modes.
In the first you input a hand and it gives you the analysis. What the win/loss/push percentages are, what the EV of all 3 plays would be and which is the house way.
In the second you play a stream of hands as banker or player. The system let's you know every time you play sub-optimally giving you access to the analysis above as to why.
The game is going to teach you to cut the house edge. You still can't beat commission but you will avoid leaking extra EV.
