Pai Gow Poker Strategy for the Online Casino

Almost all the online casinos that feature poker games and multi hand games usually include Pai Gow poker in their roster.  Read through this section of Online Casino Reports and find out about some rules and strategies that will help you succeed at online casino Pai Gow poker.

When playing Pai Gow poker at the online casino it is an important rule to be familiar with the hands and cards used in the game:

The player gets 7 cards which are split into two hands: 5 and 2. The five card hand must rank higher than the two card hand. The player selects the best 5 card from the 7 in order to put together the back. The two cards left over make up the front hand.  If the two card hand is not made up of a pair, the face value of the cards determines the hand's rank.  A pair of aces is the highest ranking two card hand.  The joker is used as a wild card in Pai Gow poker.

Other useful strategies to follow when playing Pai Gow at the online casino:

- A good quality online casino will offer a "house ways" button that sets the hand correctly for the player.  By pressing this, your cards will automatically be set in the best possible manner.

- In the case that the player and the dealer have identical hands or rank, the banker will win the hand. This is called a copy hand.

-If the player sets their two best cards in the second highest hand, the hand is automatically foul.  At many online casinos, the software will let you know that the cards need to be reset compared to most land-based casinos where you will automatically lose in this scenario.
