What is Pai Gow?
Pai Gow uses 32 Chinese dominoes. You and Naga each get four, then split them into two hands of two: a front hand and a back hand. The back hand is always the stronger one.
This game is for players aged 18 and over and uses virtual points only.
How to play
- Choose how many points to play: 10, 20 or 50.
- You get four dominoes. The game shows the three ways to split them into a front and a back hand.
- Pick one split. Naga always splits its tiles the same fixed way.
- Each of your hands is compared with Naga's. Come out ahead in both and you get points. Take one each and it's a draw, so your points come back. Lose both and the points in play are gone.
- If the values are the same, including 0 against 0, Naga comes out ahead.
Good to know
- Hands from highest to lowest: Pair, Wong, Gong, High 9, then ordinary value. The Gee Joon pair is the highest of all.
- The bulb button picks the same split Naga would use.
- Out of points? Top up to 100 for free.
- Free, with no sign-up and virtual points only.
Tips from Bos Naga
- An ordinary hand is worth the total of its dots, counting only the last digit. For example, 8 dots plus 9 dots is worth 7.
- Not sure which split to pick? The bulb button shows the one Naga would use.
- Ties go to Naga, so over time fewer points come back than you put in, even with the tip.
