ABSTRACT:
A method of playing Pai Gow Poker or Asian Poker where players successively become the "player-bank," i.e., wager against each of the other game players, is disclosed. The method offers the player-bank a plurality of wagering options to enhance player interest and involvement. A first option concerns a first process which involves the player-bank with only those successive players whose combined wagers are less than or equal to the player-bank's wager, while a second option concerns a second process which continues to involve the player-bank with successive players as long as his wager plus his winnings is not exceeded by his losses. In determining winners, players set cards dealt to them into first and second hands which are ranked by poker rules. The player whose first and second hands each respectively outrank the other player's first and second hands is deemed the winner. In one preferred embodiment, the second process is canceled and replaced by the first process if the player-bank's cards include a Joker.
