    Description

    Pai Gow is a traditional Chinese gambling game played with a special set of 32 dominoes (see Chinese Dominoes). Everyone plays against a banker. Each player gets dealt four dominoes and makes two pairs. A player wins (loses) if each matching pair is better (worse) than the dealers. If they split, it's a draw. The only decision made in the game is how to split the original four tiles.

    Because of the rules, the game is often a draw. The ranking of hands is traditional and not obvious. For example, the best pair is (4/2)(2/1).
