Hands are ranked according to poker with the exception that for the Fortune Bonus Pay Table, the Three-of-a-Kind pays higher than a Straight. If the player is not sure how to correctly set their hand, the dealer may assist by placing a House Way button by the betting circle. Any player who sets their hand incorrectly-a fouled hand-loses automatically. If the player’s two-or five-card hands tie the dealer’s the player loses. If one of your hands wins and the other loses, it is a push. To win, your two-card hand must beat the Banker’s two-card hand and your five-card hand must beat the Banker’s five-card hand. After viewing their cards, the player must sort the cards into a two-card and a five-card hand using normal Poker rankings. To play against the dealer, the player must make a regular Pai Gow wager in the betting circle. If the random number generator is not available, Pai Gow dice are rolled by the Banker (house or player) to determine the delivery order of the cards. There is a random number generator that determines which playing spot receives the first cards. The dealer deals seven cards to the dealer, and to all six player’s spots - whether or not they are played. In Fortune Pai Gow Poker, a 52-card deck plus a Joker is used.
