Jackpot Pai Gow Poker offers and exciting additional bet to the traditional game of Pai Gow Poker. When you wager on the "Jackpot" portion of the game, you are betting that the 5-card hand you play will be high enough of a Poker rank to receive a bonus payoff. The "Jackpot" wager is a seperate bet and wins or loses regardless, whether the Pai Gow Poker bet wins, loses or pushes.
You must play the Pai Gow Poker portion of the game in order to play the "Jackpot" bet. The "Jackpot" wager may be larger than the Pow Gow Poker bet.
Hands are "set" into the best possible combination of a 2-card and 5-card poker hand. Players will arrange their cards setting the 2-card hand in front and the 5-card hand in back. The 5-card hand (back hand) must be higher in rank than the front hand. Hands set incorrectly are automatic losers. No discussion of hands is allowed while you are "setting" your hands. You may ask the dealer for assistance.
