You get dealt 7 cards and you have to make a 5-card hand and a 2-card hand. Your 5-card hand must be better than your 2-card hand (can't have AA in your small hand and QQ in your 5-card). You need to beat both the dealer's hands to win. If you split 1 to 1, it's a push. If the dealer beats you with both, you lose. If you need help, the dealer will help you put your hands the right way.

(normally the option to bank just goes around the table) Two most important things IMO
Why do that?
You are only trying to beat the dealer not the other players
If your the player pay your commission up front like in a sports bet. Bet 105 to win 100
Bank as much as possible.

Not only that, but the game is retarded. Just have the dealer play your cards like he would his. No skill in a game dominated by pathetic Asian bums.

No skill is right for this game, the Asians will bet certain spots because they are lucky, then they will bet against certain spots and pay 5% juice, if they think that spot is unlucky. Well , of course every deal is independent of all previous deals, as the cards are shuffeld, then sorted, then the dice are shaken, and the banker picks a # where the action starts. In fact, this game may be the most random of any table game. Yet Asians will swear that a spot can't win, or will win.

I have never been at a table of PaiGow with people who don't know how to play, usually I am the only white guy. The game is stacked in houses favor (like all casino games) but I enjoy it because it's a slower pace then other casino games.
You can play the bank, but you have to cover every bet on the table ($500 per player) could be about $4k if you get a table that just doesn't want you banking. If you bank you win if your cards push. Most of the time players will pull back bets if you bank (if you bank once in a while).
The bonus is fun to play but depends on the payout structure some places I've seen a big jackpot payout (like Caribean), most of the time your not getting paid on that bonus though.
Oh yeah when you win you pay 5% commission (I guess the game is too fair)

Yeah it's called a copycat if you have the same hand and it is considered a loss if the dealer wins one and you have a copy. At the casino in my area we don't have the option to bank. I very rarely play this game unless I want to save money while waiting for a poker table to open. It's a very slow paced game with you splitting almost every hand. Only bad part is my local casino charges .25 every hand you play so the quarters add up.
