Millionaire Face-Up Pai Gow
Game Rules
Face-Up Pai Gow is the sharpest seven-card poker game in the casino. You see every single one of the dealer's cards before you set your own hand - full information, real decisions. Split seven cards into a five-card powerhouse and a two-card blocker, beat both dealer hands, and collect. Millionaire Mode is a paid $1 Royal Spades side bet that runs alongside the round; it does not reduce your main Face-Up Pai Gow payouts.
- Seven cards are dealt face-up to you and seven to the dealer. All fourteen cards are visible. Information advantage is yours.
- Set your hand strategically: five-card high hand must be poker-stronger than your two-card low hand. See the dealer's setting - optimise your split to win both sides.
- Dealer's hand is set by house rules. Compare: your five-card hand vs dealer's five-card hand, your two-card hand vs dealer's two-card hand. Win both: 1:1 minus 5% commission. Push one: bet returned. Lose both: stake gone.
- Pai Gow is low-volatility: pushes are common, double-wins are satisfying, and outright losses are infrequent relative to most games.
- Millionaire Bet: count your spades. Specific spade combinations pay tiered bonuses below the maximum. Every hand with the Millionaire Bet active is a spade-count check.

Winning Strategies
Face-Up Pai Gow is the only casino table game where you can see every dealer card before making your own decision. Use that information. When the dealer's two-card low hand is weak, sacrifice some of your five-card strength to dominate the two-card comparison. Winning both sides is the target, but engineering a push is always better than losing both.
Set your five-card hand first, then check the dealer's two-card setting. If you can beat their low hand with your remaining two cards, great. If the dealer has a strong low hand, focus all strength on the five-card and concede the low hand to push the leg you're weaker on. The push mechanic is your insurance.
The 5% commission only hits on wins. Push-heavy strategies reduce your commission burden while maintaining bankroll. No other simple card game gets close to this return with correct play.
