Blackjack is your better chance, but it moves a lot faster than Pai Gow. If you have a pretty limited bankroll and want to last, then Pai Gow would be better. If you can sweat out some bad streaks and have a lot to work with, then go for Blackjack.

Casinos are the devil. Stay away. Poker, handicapping, and fantasy are the way to go.

definitely sums the two up well..... which is why my wife plays pai gow while i play poker at the casinos; hard to bust out in pai gow ever, as your basically 50-50 vs dealer, and can hit the bonuses occasionally to go up........ hard to get on any kind of run in pai gow.... it's easy to play, but boring as shit in my view..... you're never gonna get rich playing pai gow.

Does pai gow use thick or thin noodles?

female asian dealers always tell me mine is thick.......

but, given the "rice dick" treatment they are used to, their frame of reference may be a bit skewed.....

I was up $20k in AC a few years ago playing craps and we were about to leave. My buddy wanted to play some Pai Gow before we left so I sat down with him. I lost 22 consecutive hands at $200 per hand before I quit. Not even a single tie! Good thing I wasn't pressing or I would have given it all back. Haven't played a hand of Pai Gow since that day.

you should calculate the statistical probability of that having happened.........

the only thing more rigged, and statistically proven, was last year when the dumb fuks at SBR forgot to reset the winner and person who would knock out the prick in the Saturday beat hte prick poker tourney with a bounty on the prick, such that the same two bungholes did exactly that in back to back weekends......

odds were 1/20+ million that such a thing could happen..........

SBR

Shithole Be Rigged!!!!!!

I won 12 straight hands of BJ at the Wild Wild West a couple weeks ago. 45 mins before that I had 4 BJs in a row pulled on me.
I've never lost 22 straight hands of pai gow. My guess is The statistical probability of that happening is in the tens of millions
Unless you're Miss Sorting.

curious if anyone has a recommended "system" when playing pai gow and winning..how and where do you increase your bet(if playing the bonus)...

SBR Drew · 02-16-19, 09:39 AM

generally , same amount of $$$ will last longer playing Pai Gow - racking up points on Players Card

So, do you guys play the "Sucker hole" in Paigow" to try to win the progressive prizes?

eaglesfan371 · 02-16-19, 12:11 PM

Pai gow house edge 2.5%+, blackjack under 1%.

SlickFazzer · 02-16-19, 12:12 PM

Most do not have discipline or patience to grind out the small edge.

Better ways to make money.

Ian · 02-16-19, 12:23 PM

Pai Gow tiles actually has a minuscule +EV for the player when banking and playing optimal strategy. So if you are prepared to do an extraordinary amount of work to memorize strategy and find a game that lets you bank then that's your best shot at winning.

I do in most cases yes..but on the strip the Harrah's replaced the $1 bet with $5 for the 7 card straight flush..

BuckyOne · 02-16-19, 03:14 PM

Yes, I saw that and then there was another side bet that paid if the dealer had a Pai Gow?

newton0038 · 02-16-19, 09:28 PM

u gotta be the bank when offered in Pink Cow. Mst playrs pull their bets back when a player banks and its just you and the dealer . Dealer wins all hand pushes as in say both of the 2 card hands are Ace-King, whoever is the bakner wins.

I thought Ebe was making his triumphant return

mrpapageorgio · 02-17-19, 03:15 AM

When doing a guys trip to the casino, Pai Gow is my go to if I go up quickly at the craps/poker table and want to kill time while the others are still playing their games. One of the local casinos gives you a free meal after only 30 minutes of play so I just play for an hour and usually end up around even most of the time; then go eat to kill more time while trying not to give up my winnings.

I do play that one yes the fortune bonus...face up PG is a thing now as well. Same game but dealer sets hand first and if dealer gets A high PG everyone pushes and only bonus hands paid out.

jjgold · 02-17-19, 06:51 AM

casino gambling will put you in cement faster than anything

speed of play why

Blackjack. Basic strategy has a slight edge.

for me it depends on the table..but yes have had trips where I feel the same way

Blackjack because it has fewer asians smoking around you.

Depends on the house rules. In many Vegas casinos, this isn't the case these days. Even with perfect basic strategy the house will have the edge because of their shitty rules.

For instance, the whole 6/5 payout for blackjacks. Those never existed 20 years ago. Now most of the tables under $25 on the Strip pay 6/5.

One of the reasons I prefer to play at Stations or Boyd properties these days.
