Pai-gow Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old casino game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early 1800’s, Chinese laborers introduced the casino game while working in California.
The game’s reputation with Chinese gamblers eventually drew the attention of entrepreneurial gamers who substituted the classic tiles with cards and modeled the casino game into a new form of poker. Introduced into the poker suites of California in ‘86, the game’s immediate acceptance and popularity with Asian poker gamblers drew the attention of Nevada’s gambling establishment owners who swiftly assimilated the casino game into their own poker suites. The popularity of the game has continued into the 21st century.
Pai gow tables cater to up to 6 players plus a croupier. Distinguishing from conventional poker, all gamblers wager on against the dealer and not against each other.
