RTG Pai Gow Poker deals seven cards to be split into a five-card high hand and two-card low hand against the dealer, with the joker playing as an ace or to complete straights and flushes. The banker advantage plus 5% commission produce a house edge near 2.84% for a player who never banks.
Setting Hands
The house-way autoset is close to optimal; manual setting only matters in edge cases like two-pair splits. Push frequency exceeds 40%, giving Pai Gow the longest average session per dollar of any RTG table game.
Best Use
Its extreme low volatility makes it a favorite for slow bankroll play, though many casinos exclude table games from bonus playthrough — check terms first.
