We are sure back in the days when all of us were children our parents pulled most of us aside and explained to us that the world is not fair. Though it is true that the world is, for the most part, unfair, it is a sort of unpredictable sort of inequity. The gaming industry gives players something that real life will never offer them, a level of inequality that is actually measurable.
In Pai Gow Poker the house 2.5% advantage over the player. In short the player will win 47.5% or the time compared to the 52.5% of the time the house will come out of things victorious. However when the player is the banker (dealer) the game is close to even. This fact means that most simple strategy for increasing the odds of winning at Pai Gow Poker is to be the banker as frequently as possible.
When the player is the banker the house edge is reduced to approximately 1.25% (or 51.25%). These numbers assume that the player will split his hands in the same manner as the house (the house way).
When the player is banking the playing field is nearly even. This it true because of the advantage the banker has from winning ties. Also there is another factor, the 5% commission that is paid by the banker on winning hands, gets charged after losses are settled against winnings.
This Pai Gow Poker strategy is based the manner in which the house arranges the cards, meaning the rules that determine how the dealer will split his seven cards into the best possible two hands. It is a pretty safe assumption that the casinos always arrange the cards in a manner that is close to optimal. The rules will probably vary slightly from casino to casino. |
