Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer gets 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
