Pai Gow Poker is a casino game that you can play with other players, so before you sit down at a Pai Gow Poker Table for the first time you really should know any etiquette related to Pai Gow Poker, so that you don’t make a mistake.
Thankfully with Pai Gow Poker, there really isn’t too many decisions you can do wrong that will infuriate any other players. For example unlike Blackjack, if you don’t utilize correct strategy in Pai Gow Poker it doesn’t actually affect the outcome of the other players hands, so even if you don’t really know the optimal Pai Gow Poker strategy, it really doesn’t matter that much.
The main thing is to remember that your hand must be split into two separate hands, one of which contains five cards and the other of which contains two cards. This is a common mistake players can make where they make two separate hands, one with four cards and the other with three cards. This is obviously a mistake which will slow the game down. Pai Gow Poker is already a slow game – so be sure not to make this mistake as it won’t make your fellow gamblers very happy.
The other thing to remember is that you can’t share your hand, or any of your cards, with the other players. While the other players would LOVE this as it would help them gain an edge, the casino obviously wouldn’t want it, and if you share your cards with other participants in the hand then you can guarantee a visit from the unhappy pit boss.
That’s about it when it comes to Pai Gow Poker etiquette. Head on over to the practice tables at Omni Casino if you’re non-US, and Cherry Red Casino if you’re in the US and get the game down pat, before you head out to Vegas.
