Pai gow is a Chinese domino game that has been played for centuries. It is played in casinos around the world, especially in Macau, but also in Australia, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City, among other places. While pai gow is the most challenging of casino games, it also makes a great social game.
Pai gow has complicated rules, and is not an easy game to play. If you havent played it before, learning pai gow in a casino will be too expensive. This pai gow app will not only teach you the rules, but it will teach you to play well.
The app teaches four strategies from learner to advanced. You start with the learner strategy to learn the rules as you play the game, and you can then advance as far as you like through the beginner, intermediate, and advanced strategies. The app includes context-sensitive help and a complete description of the game, written by a native English speaker.
The app features social and casino games. You can play as the banker or play against the banker. The heart of the app is the tutor, for those who seriously want to learn to play the game well. You can practice deals governed by a specific rule, or random deals, or you can have the tutor choose deals that you seem to be having trouble with. In all cases, the app keeps statistics that you can use to hone your play.
If youre not sure whether you want to buy this app, consider downloading our free Pai Gow Lite app. This ad-supported version doesnt have the tutor, and only implements the learner strategy, but you can use it to learn pai gow and decide if you like it.
Both the full app and the lite version feature original music composed especially for these apps.
