You have to pay for funds to continue. The watch add for funds option is not available the first time I needed it. Disappointing. ### 5/5 — 🇭🇹 *2020-02-02* Enjoy ### 5/5 — Great Pai Gow Tiles Practice *2018-10-28* This is by far the best Pai Gow Tiles App in App Store as of right now (October 2018). Straightforward interface and helpful stats make learning the game and optimal strategy as easy as it can be given the nuances of the game. Whether you want to play a few hands or for 15 minutes this app is a great way to play some hands! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2018-10-28, version 1.7* Things I’d like to see in future versions: paid app without advertisements and more explanation when there is errors in how hand was set. Update: you added paid version no ads, I bought it! Thank you! Dealers in Vegas are impressed I know how to play this game, I point to this app every time. Even the dealers are impressed ### 5/5 — Outstanding training/playing app *2018-04-17* New Pai Gow player. I learned the basics through reading tutorials but this app solidified what I had learned by providing real feedback on my performance. Even if you’re not learning and just want to play, you’ll find that here too. The statistics provided and the rationale behind my moves is very neat. I wish there were even more features- only because this developer does his features right. Would love to see what else he could do. A small suggestion would be a way to manually restart sessions and overall statistics. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great if you want to quit gambling *2026-07-12* Statistics is definitely not accurate with this one. ### 1/5 — Lying *2023-09-16* I hate this apps ### 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. ### 4/5 — House Way *2025-03-01* Some hands for house way has to be fixed. ### 4/5 — Nice app *2018-11-04* Good app. Commercials are annoying. Could use page of hand ranks, maybe strategy page also. ### 4/5 — Which casino for house way? *2018-05-28* Which casino did you use for the house way? I never played in a casino that plays the same house way that you have for the game. **Developer response:** The house way is the one from Foxwoods which can be found online. If you think there is a mistake in the game's house way, please send me the examples and I would be happy to correct them. ### 5/5 — Pai Gow *2026-07-13, version 2.7* Greatest game Ive ever played in history ### 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. ### 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! ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-12-15* Great way to practice ### 5/5 — Make nine here *2021-11-13, version 2.7* Chen de fermentation bat catch a dock spot for a hatch yacht dockportstarbinarysends ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2021-04-09* Tiles was the first game I learned after being in the biz for a year and I don’t regret it. This app is great because it lets you set your hand first then tells you how you played it wrong lol. The house ways are like most casinos I have played and be pretty accurate. I broke in at Foxwoods and at the time their house way was very aggressive. A lot of houses played hands to push but Foxwoods played to beat you lol. When the zombies/COVID finally go away I can’t wait to go back to Vegas and play again! ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-09-23, version 2.6.1* If you’re learning how to set hands or breaking down hands to see the odds this is the best Pai-Gow app out there. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
