Classic Paigow Poker 6.8

Game Rules:

Paigow is a card game where players compete against the dealer. The objective is to split a seven-card hand into a five-card left hand and a two-card right hand. The value of the left hand must exceed that of the right hand. If both of the player's hands outrank the dealer's respective hands, the player wins. Conversely, if both of the player's hands are inferior to the dealer's hands, the player loses. Any other outcome results in a tie, and the player's bets are refunded.

Paigow is played using one deck of 52 cards plus a joker, drawn from a shoe. The joker acts as a wild card and can serve as an ace or complete certain key combinations. Each round involves dealing seven cards face up to each hand, starting with the player and alternating between hands. The player then arranges their cards, after which comparing rules are applied to determine the round's winner. Winners are announced, and successful bets are settled.

Comparing Rules:

• Pattern Order: Royal Flush > Straight Flush > Four Of A Kind > Full House > Flush > Straight > Three Of A Kind > Two Pair > One Pair > High Card
• Rank Order: A > K > Q > J > 10 > 9 > 8 > 7 > 6 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2
