Progressive Fortune Pai Gow Poker™ is identical to the casino game Pai Gow Poker with three additional bonus wagers. The additional Fortune Bonus wager and Progressive wager is a bet that the players best five-card or seven-card hand from their original seven-cards will make a qualifying poker hand, regardless of how the player set their Pai Gow Poker hand. The Pai Gow’d wager is an optional side bet the player wins if the players five card hand is less than a pair and the players five card hand beats the dealers five card hand. A tie hand does not qualify to win the Pai Gow’d wager. The rules of Pai Gow Poker do not change.
Each player must make a Pai Gow wager and optionally make a Fortune Bonus bet. Each player arranges two poker hands. One is five cards (highest hand) and one is two cards (second highest hand). The second highest hand is placed face down horizontally above the vertical outline for the high hand. After the hands have been set the player may no longer touch their hand. When a player sets their hand with the two-card hand higher than the five-card hand it is called a, “fouled hand” and the bet loses.
Only the player placing the bet may set their cards except if a player requests assistance from the dealer. The dealer sets player’s hands house way and indicates they are assisting by placing a “house way button” by the player’s bet.
The dealer must set their hand the house way. If during the pay/take sequence it is discovered that the hand was set wrong, all winning hands will still be on the layout while the tie and losing hands will be in the discard rack in the order they were picked up. All hands are spread in front of each player before any outcome can be changed. The dealer’s hand must be reset to house way.
Both the high hand and the second highest hand must win or lose for a position to win or lose. If one hand wins and one hand loses the bet is pushed. Any hand that is an exact copy results in a win for the banker’s hand.
