- PAI GOW POKER
-
- Pai Gow Poker combines the elements of the ancient Chinese game
- of Pai Gow and the American game of Poker. It is played with a
- standard deck of 52 playing cards plus a joker. The joker can
- be used only as an ace or to complete a straight, a flush or a
- straight flush.
-
- Each player is dealt seven cards face down, which the player
- arranges to make two poker hands: a two-card hand and a five-
- card hand. The player must always be sure that the five-card
- hand beats the two-card hand. Any player's hand that is set
- incorrectly is a foul hand and becomes an automatic loser. The
- two-card hand is called the Low or Front hand and the five-card
- hand is called the High or Back hand. The Low hand is not
- played as Lowball poker. The player should not associate the
- term Low hand with low poker. Both hands are played high. One
- hand just happens to hold two cards.
-
- The object of the game is to beat the banking hand. In most
- cases the banking hand is the casino, but the player's may bank
- the game also. In order for the player to win his or her bet,
- the player's High and Low hand must beat the bankers High and
- Low hand. IE: Players winning both High and Low hands are
- winners. Players winning either High or Low hands are ties or
- pushes. Players losing both High and Low hands are losers.
- Neither the house bank or player bank may foul their hand. In
- the event a banker fouls a hand, the hand is reset according to
- the house hand rules. If a player fouls a hand, it's an
- automatic loser.
-
- The house collects a 5% commission on all winning hands. If a
- player is banking, that player pays the 5% commission only if
- player shows a profit.
-
-
- STARTING PAI GOW POKER
-
- From your DOS prompt, type PGP and press the ENTER key. In order
- for Pai Gow Poker to run, you must be logged onto the directory
- where PGP.EXE resides. Pai Gow Poker must be able to locate the
- files PGP01.INF, PGP02.INF, and PGP03.INF.
-
- The following are examples for starting Pai Gow Poker:
-
- Typing from your Explanation
- DOS prompt
-
- PGP Use mouse
-
- PGP K Use keyboard
-
- You may either play Pai Gow Poker with a mouse or your
- keyboard. When starting Pai Gow Poker by typing PGP, you
- automatically default to mouse usage. If Pai Gow Poker has
-
-
- - 2 -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- trouble detecting your mouse or your mouse driver is not
- installed, you will be dropped into the keyboard mode.
-
- TANDY 1OOO
-
- NOTE: If your computer is a Tandy 1OOO, the file "T1KVGA.COM"
- may be required to be in memory before playing Pai Gow Poker.
- If you cannot play this game, install the "T1KVGA.COM" file in
- memory first. From your DOS prompt, type T1KVGA and press the
- ENTER key. You may then play Pai Gow Poker as described above.
-
- The first screen you see will be the boot screen. This will
- display the copyright notice and version number of Pai Gow
- Poker. A message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen
- asking you to either press a mouse button or the ENTER key.
- When you've done this, Pai Gow Poker will load in the required
- graphic screens it requires to continue to operate. This may
- take some time if you are playing this from a floppy disk.
-
- The next screen you see will be the Pai Gow Poker table layout.
- You will be playing Pai Gow Poker from this screen.
-
-
- PAI GOW POKER TABLE
-
- The playing screen will resemble a Pai Gow Poker table. The
- house hand will be located at the top middle of your screen.
- The six player's positions are located on the bottom half of the
- screen. Each position will show the outcome from the last hand
- played, the current amount of money you have won or lost during
- the current session you're playing, and the total amount of
- money won or lost since you've been playing Pai Gow Poker.
-
- On the right side of the house hand (left on your screen) you
- will notice a marker. This is the bank marker which is placed
- on the bet of the player who wishes to act as the bank. If none
- of the player's wish to bank the hand, the marker will remain at
- the right of the dealer. This indicates that the house is
- banking the hand.
-
- On the right side of the bank marker (left on your screen), you
- will notice a card tray. The card tray holds the cards that are
- left over from the deck after the deal. The tray will also hold
- the cards picked up by the house after the house collects or
- pays off on a hand decision. Once all bets are made good, the
- house will remove the cards from the card tray and proceed with
- another hand of Pai Gow Poker.
-
- On the left side of the house hand (right on your screen) will
- be a dice cup. The dice cup contains three dice. The dice
- determine how the hands are distributed to each of the player's.
-
-
- PLAYING PAI GOW POKER
-
- When starting to play Pai Gow Poker, each player will place a
-
- - 3 -
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- bet in the betting circle in front of each player's position.
- Each player will place a bet from $5 to $500. If a player
- wishes to bank the game, the bank marker will be placed over the
- amount the player has put up for the bank. In this game, a
- player that banks the game will cover all bets. A player cannot
- bank a round of Pai Gow twice in a row.
-
- The house will shuffle the cards and deal seven packs of seven
- cards each. The house usually deals from left to right, then
- right to left, repeating this procedure until each of the seven
- packs contain seven cards.
-
- Once all the bets are made, the banker (house or player) will
- shake the dice cup. The house will uncover the cup, exposing
- the dice, and count the total of the dice. The total of the
- dice determine which player will receive the first pack of seven
- cards. The bank position will always be 1, 8 or 15. The house
- will distribute the packs of cards clockwise. If the dice show
- a total of 9, the house will count the bank as position 8. The
- next player is 9 and that player gets the first pack. The next
- player gets the second pack, etc.
-
- Five of the players and the house are played by the computer.
- The sixth player is your position in which you will have to
- place your bet and arrange your High and Low hands.
-
- Once all the player's seven cards have been arranged in their
- High and Low hands, the player's will place the Low hand in
- front of the High hand, both face down. The bank will then
- arrange his hand and expose both the High and Low hands. The
- house plays their hand according to the house rules. Each
- casino may vary in the manner they select the High and Low
- hands.
-
- The house will then expose each of the player's hands, one at a
- time, collecting or paying off the bets with the banker's money.
- Only the house will collect commissions on a winning player
- hand. In the event a player is banking the game, the house will
- collect its commission from the player banker if a profit is
- shown. If a player is banking the game, the house will make a
- bet of $10.
-
-
- USING A MOUSE

- over one of the options, and press either mouse button. While
- in the mouse mode, you will not be able to use the keyboard.

- place a bet of $15 if your last bet was $110, select $500 which
