### 5/5 — Pai Gow

*2026-07-13, version 2.7*

Greatest game Ive ever played in history

### 1/5 — Great if you want to quit gambling

*2026-07-12*

Statistics is definitely not accurate with this one.

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin

*2026-03-24*

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.

### 4/5 — House Way

*2025-03-01*

Some hands for house way has to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Detailed analysis

*2024-02-14*

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.

### 5/5 — 1 tiles app

*2023-11-04*

Awesome app!

### 1/5 — Lying

*2023-09-16*

I hate this apps

### 5/5 — Fabulous app

*2023-02-12*

Just played my 4000th hand.  Stats prove this sim to be very realistic.  Is there a tutorial to learn the ideal way to set each hand?  Obviously, the house way isn’t always the best.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2023-01-09*

Good for learning but EXTREMELY unrealistic game play. They will always win so that you are forced to buy more chips to continue playing. Worst Paige app I have ever played.

**Developer response:** Sorry you felt the game play was unrealistic. All hands are dealt completely at random. It's true that Pai Gow, like most casino games, is a negative EV game and in the long term the house will win. The point of the app is to help you learn the strategy.

Feel free to contact me at the help email if you see anything odd about the gameplay.

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-12-28*

This game will prepare you to play confidently at the tables in Vegas!  Few people understand it so you always get a seat. The game inherently has a lot of ties so you can play for a long time.
