The game of Pai Gow Tiles, which originated in
Ancient China, is played in most Asian countries. "Pai Gow" is a
game of Chinese dominoes. Literally translated, it means
"Cards-Nine". The game is played with dominoes and is the
forerunner of American dominoes.
There are 32 dominoes used in Pai Gow, which
are mixed or shuffled by the House Supervisor: The dominoes are placed in
eight (8) stacks of four (4) each. The Player/Dealer and up to seven (7)
players are dealt one stack (four dominoes). The object of the game is to
set the dominoes into two hands (front and back, two dominoes per hand)
for the best "ranking" combination. If they are lower, the
Player/Dealer wins. When the Player/Dealer and players have the same
ranking combinations, the Player/Dealer is the winner.
