Following my patented 3-step system, you can learn the basics of Pai Gow Poker in 20 minutes, and become a Pai Gow Black Belt Master in just 2 fun hours. Better still, you won't spend a penny in the process! Let's begin.

Step 1

Go to Reef Club Casino. Click on Click to Play Lite Version. Then click on Practice Play. This will take you into the practice casino where you can play Pai Gow Poker for free.

I recommend Reef Club's practice casino because it's fast and easy to access, no download is required, no cumbersome registration process is required, and the software provides a built-in training tool (the House Way button) which I will describe below.

Step 2

Start playing the game. The object is to split the 7 cards you are dealt into a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. To win, both hands must beat the dealer's hands. Note that your 5 card hand must be higher than your 2 card hand.

Before you set your hand, click the House Way button. The House Way is the system the dealer uses to split his hand. It is hard to improve on the House Way. Once you learn to set your cards the House Way, you have mastered Pai Gow Poker!

Step 3

Now that you've learned the basics and are comfortable with the game, read the The Wizard of Odds' Pai Gow rules and strategies. Here you can refine your game, and the Wizard will answer any lingering questions you may have.

Congratulations, you have mastered Pai Gow Poker. Good luck at the tables.
