• To start the game, the players make their bets according to the table minimum.
• The dealer shuffles the cards and deals out seven stacks containing seven cards.
• The Banker shakes a cup containing three dice to determine who gets the firsthand.
• There is a place marked on the table to place your hands. The two-card hand is placed in front and the five-card hand is placed behind it.
• If both of your hands beat the Banker's two hands you win. If one of your hands beats the Bankers and one loses it is a push and there are no winners. If either of your hands has the exact same value as the Banker's hand it is a tie, which is called a copy and the Banker wins.
• When you are setting your hands, your five-card hand must be a higher value than your two-card hand.
• If you make a mistake and the two-card hand is higher it is a "foul" and you lose automatically.
• When the casino acts as the Banker the dealers must set their hands according to certain rules, which is called the "House Way."
• If you are unsure of how to set your hand you can ask the dealer to set it the "House Way." This will keep you from making a mistake.
• Pai Gow is a slower paced game. There are many pushes. The Banker has a slight edge because it wins the copies.
