Game Rules

Face-Up Pai Gow is the sharpest seven-card poker game in the casino. You see every single one of the dealer's cards before you set your own hand — full information, real decisions. Split seven cards into a five-card powerhouse and a two-card blocker, beat both dealer hands, and collect. The Millionaire Bet adds a spades-counting jackpot mechanic: six qualifying target spades in one hand, and you're a millionaire.

1. Place your main bet and optionally the Millionaire Bet side wager. Max stake for maximum Millionaire Mode trigger probability.
2. Seven cards are dealt face-up to you and seven to the dealer. All fourteen cards are visible. Information advantage is yours.
3. Set your hand strategically: five-card high hand must be poker-stronger than your two-card low hand. See the dealer's setting — optimise your split to win both sides.
4. Dealer's hand is set by house rules. Compare: your five-card hand vs dealer's five-card hand, your two-card hand vs dealer's two-card hand. Win both: 1:1 minus 5% commission. Push one: bet returned. Lose both: stake gone.
5. Pai Gow is low-volatility: pushes are common, double-wins are satisfying, and outright losses are infrequent relative to most games.
6. Millionaire Bet: count your spades. Ace of Spades through 9 of Spades all in your seven-card hand triggers the ultimate jackpot. Specific spade combinations pay tiered bonuses below the maximum. Every hand with the Millionaire Bet active is a spade-count check.

Winning Strategies

Face-Up Pai Gow is the only casino table game where you can see every dealer card before making your own decision. Use that information. When the dealer's two-card low hand is weak, sacrifice some of your five-card strength to dominate the two-card comparison. Winning both sides is the target, but engineering a push is always better than losing both.

Set your five-card hand first, then check the dealer's two-card setting. If you can beat their low hand with your remaining two cards, great. If the dealer has a strong low hand, focus all strength on the five-card and concede the low hand to push the leg you're weaker on. The push mechanic is your insurance.

The 5% commission only hits on wins. Push-heavy strategies reduce your commission burden while maintaining bankroll. At 98.3% RTP with optimal play, this is the best base-game RTP in the card games category. No other simple card game gets close to this return with correct play.

The Millionaire Bet is a must-place side wager for jackpot hunters. Ace through 9 of spades in one hand — yes, it's rare. But the bonus tiers below the maximum pay real money for 4, 5 target spades, and the Millionaire Mode jackpot runs independently on top. Place the Millionaire Bet every hand and let the spade count work for you.

Provably Fair Gaming

Every card in Face-Up Pai Gow — all seven of yours and all seven of the dealer's — is SHA-256 generated from the committed server seed before a single card is shown. The full 14-card deal is locked in before you see the first card. After the session, reconstruct the complete deal from the revealed seeds and verify every spade, every poker hand, every setting. Unbreakable cryptographic dealing.

Server seed committed before the session, client seed mixed in at shuffle, full reveal after. The Fisher-Yates shuffle derivation is published and independently reproducible. Reconstruct any hand, check any spade count, verify any outcome. This is the deepest provably fair verification available in any card game format.

Golden Event chain runs separately and is independently verifiable. Spade-count bonuses are derived from the card deal itself — the same SHA-256 chain that determines your cards determines your spade bonus. One proof covers both the base game and the Millionaire Bet. Complete transparency, complete auditability.
