The Payout
While playing pai gow it is important that all the players and the banker set their hands without looking at each others tiles. Once that is done, the cards are all turned face up. The player's high hand and low hands are compared to the high hands and the low hands of the dealer’s respectively. The player wins even money on his wager if his high hand and low hand both beat the banker's high and low hands. The player loses only if both his hands are lower than the banker’s hands. If the player wins one hand and loses the other then his bet is a tie or what is known as push in poker parlance and his wager is returned.
The banker pays all the winning bets and collects all the losing bets. If one of the players has taken on the role of the banker then he must pay the casino a 5% commission on his total winnings if any. The player to the banker’s right can then choose to become the banker if he so wishes.
