Pai Gow Poker (Free) for Android
Plays very well but needs some enhancements. Will detail in an email to developers. Hope I can increase rating to 5 stars.
This is a really great app, but it doesn't follow standard house rules for when / when not to split two low pairs
Definitely set up so house win, even if using dealer way.
It's a nice app to learn double hand if you're a dealer or banker, without having to shuffle and deal. Their house way is a little unorthodox, for instance a saw it go 2 pair behind with 97, yet they never gamble ace high straights or flushes. Really wish there was a jokers wild option and an A5 straight option.
Not a bad version. Just one major flaw that will freeze up the game. If you win more than $10,000 on a bonus bet, there's not enough text space left for the OK button to appear and you can't proceed. You must then clear data or reinstall. Frustrating.
I bank Pai Gow at a Los angelas casino. There should be an option for a wild card joker. Also, seems if I get more than $4000 in the bank, the dealer suddenly comes down with monster hand syndrome. That feels a bit unnatural.
It would be great if there wasn't a hyper blinking ad right below my cards distracting me from the game.
Not realistic. Card shuffle needs to be a lot better after 5 hands of having pai gow it gets to be bullshit
Only bug so far...dealer had 3-7 heart straight flush with another pair of 7s. Played the 7 of hearts in the low hand.
Love this game. Is there away to replace money when you do not have enough to make a bet? I want
It's OK for a free game, but the dealer wins the majority of both hands played. You do hit quite a few Fortune bets though.
I can't seem to win more than 3 hands in a row at any given time but I can sure lose or tie 10+ games in a row and what's even worse if I happen to up my bets I might win 1 out of every 10 or hands. Plain ridiculous.
A good game overall. House way is more conservative than I've ever seen in a casino. Only problem is that there appears to be no way to reload chips, short of uninstalling and reinstalling.
Not realistic. I've played this in casinos many times and the dealer never has this many good hands.
Minor graphical changes are my only gripes. Unfortunately, the last time this app was updated was late '12. Needs a reason to keep coming back.
Best!;)! Casual, fun, & exciting!;)! Plus, all your real $ stays in your pocket, safely!;)!
Very simple, smart, game play by far.....
How do I get more playing money
Wtf why is a wheel the 2nd highest straight?
Great game to play. Really does helps you out how the hands are placed correctly when you ain't sure. Only press "dealer way" & it shows you the right way to set up the hand. Love it, easy to learn paigow poker
Works great!
Love that there are no permissions!
Dig it baby!
As a former casino dealer, I can tell you that this app is probably about as close as you'll get to being on a live table. The rules are correct right down to the banker winning all ties. And for all you griping about playing lots of hands and only pushing or losing for 20 hands, that's really the way it is on the tables. Pai Gow is a slow game. I once had a guy play for 6hrs on $20!
I love this game! It's just like the one I play in the casino. Except if I lose all my points it gives me more. I haven't had any problems at all. Thank you!
Used to play Pai Gow in Vegas and at Hustler in LA but after 6 years living in Texas I've been away from it; I found myself really rusty. This app TOTALLY got me back into the swing of it! Easy, straightforward and fun. It is a little sparse menu-wise but the hands all seem legit from what I remember. Worth the install!
I can't seem to win more than 3 hands in a row at any given time but I can sure lose or tie 10+ games in a row and what's even worse if I happen to up my bets I might win 1 out of every 10 or hands. Plain ridiculous.
Technically and functionally the game works fine. It charges no commission as the casinos do so the only advantage the house has is ties which are infrequent. With this in mind the player loses steadily. Well more than a fair game (this is why the casinos charge a commission).
With a $20 bonus bet, I got a royal flush with royal match (spade royal using joker plus KQ of hearts). It says I win $40020, but the box is so full there's no ok button. :( Still broken almost a week later. cya
Great app. All the reviewers complaining about the joker or five high straight winning need to learn the rules before rating
I like the game. Checking the cards with the "dealer's way" is a good way to learn some tricky combinations. The game doesn't rotate the screen properly but I changed the settings option of the tablet to lock the orientation and the game works ok. Otherwise, it would get five stars.
Hey j___ass a 5 high straight never beats a Jack high straight. EVER
Dealer has huge advantage. Wins way more often than if you were actually at a pai gow table in the casino.
Excellent game. Complainers need to go check PG rules. Have seen NO house cheating. Sugg'n for game: optional 5% rake on win, like LV casinos do.
Very glitchy and slow. The other one is way better.
Not the best one out there. Wont let me unset my cards. Also should auto sort the cards.
Wild card gives dealer 3 of a kind and player 2 pair. Plus dealer lower hand always win whn both have the same number. This game is rig.
To complainers: the joker in Pai Gow poker can be used as an Ace or in straights and flushes: it is not a general wild card.
It works well. If it's too slow for you there is an option to turn the speed up in the options. I've played well over 5000 hands and the computer doesn't cheat. The win/loss/push percentages (28.9%/29.1%/42% is what I have so far) are accurate to real world statistics.

Another POS game with bs algorithms that are totally unfair. Can't at least one app builder have enough integrity to build a game with a true Random Number Generator (RNG)?
