The one hand that contain five cards is known as the 'High Hand' or 'Back Hand'. In Pai Gow Poker, the Banker's position is always 1, 8 or 15.ģ Once all the cards are distributed, the dealer will go back and collect the cards distributed to seats without a wager and place them in the discard rack.Ĥ Each player at the table receives seven (7) cards which they will use to construct two (2) separate poker hands of two (2) cards and five (5) cards. The dealer will then deliver seven cards to each spot on the table in front of each player, including the dealer and also spots with no wagers, in a clockwise rotation. The dealer position receives the first hand. Starting with the banker position as 'one,' the dealer counts betting positions (including open seats) counter clockwise until reaching the sum of the dice. The numbers on the dice are added and the value of the three dice indicate which player receives the first set of seven cards. Before the dice are uncovered, all bets must be in the betting circle. 2 Delivering the Cards: The dealer then shakes the dice cup and rolls three dice.
