The goal is to beat both of the dealer's corresponding hands.

Basic Gameplay
Once you’ve joined a Pai Gow Poker table online, the game begins with players placing their bets. After all bets are placed, each player, as well as the dealer, receives seven http://paigowpoker.io  cards face down. From there, players must arrange their cards into two hands: the five-card hand and the two-card hand. The five-card hand must rank higher than the two-card hand according to standard poker hand rankings.

Hand Rankings
Understanding hand rankings is crucial in Pai Gow Poker. The rankings follow traditional poker rules, with one exception: the "wheel" or "A-2-3-4-5" straight is considered the second-highest straight, just below the straight from ten to ace. Here’s a breakdown of the hand rankings, from highest to lowest:

Five of a Kind: Four Aces plus the Joker.
Royal Flush: A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit.
Straight Flush: Five consecutive cards of the same suit.

Two Pair: Two pairs of cards of the same rank.
One Pair: Two cards of the same rank.
High Card: When none of the above hands are made, the highest card in the hand determines the winner.
