I assume the commission is based on the net win of the banker, but on this I am not certain.Do you know about Pai Gow Poker, an exciting hybrid of Eastern and Western card games? How about Sic Bo, an ancient Chinese dice game characterized by a wild ride of uncertainty?īeyond the typical blackjack, slots, and roulette, some intriguing alternatives exist.

The dealer will collect a 5% commission from all winning bets.

In the event of an exact tie, or both hands are zero points, the tie will go to the banker.

All 0-point hands are equally bad (as in pai gow tiles).

For example, if the player had 9 and 6, and the banker had 8 and 7, then player would win, because both hands are five points, and the player's 9 tile beats the banker's 8 tile.

If both the player and banker have the same number of points then the higher tile in each hand will be used to break the tie the higher tile wins.

So the highest number of points is 9 and the lowest 0.

If the pair of tiles do not form a matching pair then the number of dots will be added, ignoring the window tile, and the tens digit dropped (as in baccarat).

The highest pair is a pair of tens (windows), then 9s, 8s, etc., with 1s as the lowest pair.

After all players have made their bets, and the banker has shown funds to pay all bets should he lose, the dealer will give each player and the banker two tiles each.

The dealer does not play, but takes a 5% commission from all winning wagers.

A player may choose not to bank on his turn, in which case the option will rotate to the next player.

Each player will make a wager against a designated banker, chosen on a rotating basis among the players at the table.

The last two are called the 'window' tile, and are equivalent to a ten-dot tile.

Of the 20 tiles, there are two tiles each numbered with 1 to 9 dots.

It is played with 20 Mah Jong tiles as pictured below.
