Pai Gow Poker
This is a derivative of the poker game. It dates back to a couple of hundreds of years in ancient China and has become a popular game in modern day casinos. It was initially played with dominoes until the late 20th century when it was mated with poker.
It has a distinct advantage over poker in that the player’s only opponent is the dealer. Thus the player only has to compete with one person in order to win. It is an easy game to play. The dealer deals seven cards. The player must have two hands; one should be a five card hand whilst the other should be a two card hand. The five card hand should have a higher value than the two card hand. The player only wins if the value of both hands is higher than the dealer’s hands. If the value of both hands of the dealer and the player are equivalent then it is a tie but the dealer wins that round. If the player has a higher value on one hand or beats the dealer with one hand, the round is said to be a push with no winner.
Keno
This game also originated in ancient China although the name may have Latin of French origins. It has similarities to lottery or bingo games. Keno is played on a ticket with a field of 80 selection boxes numbered 1 to 80. There are five types of Keno tickets: the straight tickets, the combination tickets, the split tickets, the way tickets and the king tickets.
The straight ticket is the most commonly used ticket as the betting and selection of numbers is the easiest. The player wagers by selecting his numbers with an “X” from one to fifteen numbers and sometimes as many as twenty and waits for the draw. In live games the draw is done with numbered balls whilst online Keno is done electronically. Twenty balls are drawn randomly. A player wins when his numbers match the numbers drawn. If some of the numbers on the ticket match the numbers drawn then the player is paid accordingly.
