Pai Gow Poker (Face-Up)
Seven cards, two hands, one goal: beat the dealer on both. EvoJacks Pai Gow Poker is played face-up so you can see exactly what the dealer has before you set your hands. The Fortune Bonus side bet rewards strong 7-card combinations up to 8000:1, and Millionaire Mode puts a $1,000,000 jackpot in play.
How to Play
You get 7 cards from a 53-card deck (52 standard cards plus a Joker). Split them into a 5-card high hand and a 2-card low hand. Your high hand must outrank your low hand. Beat the dealer on both hands for a 1:1 payout. Win one, lose one, and it is a push. Lose both and your bet is gone.
The Joker fills in for straights and flushes in the high hand. If it cannot complete either, it counts as an Ace. In the low hand, the Joker is always an Ace. Since the dealer's cards are face-up, you know exactly what you are up against.
