47.1-1017.43 	The play – Pai Gow Poker.
(1)	The game of Pai Gow Poker must be played according to the rules listed below. The object of the game is for the player to create two poker hands out of the seven-card hand dealt by the dealer. A five-card hand and a two-card poker hand. The five-card hand value must exceed the two-card hand. Pai Gow Poker is a card game in which players are dealt seven cards, which they then arrange to form a five card high hand and a two card low hand, using poker rankings to determine the relative rank of the hands. The two hands of the player are then compared to the two hands of the dealer. A player wins if both his/her high hand and low hand are higher in rank than the high hand and low hand of the dealer. The player’s wager is considered to be a tie (“push”), if one of his/her hands is higher than one of the hands of the dealer and one is identical or lower. The player loses if both of his/her hands are identical to or lower than the hands of the dealer. Winning wagers in Pai Gow Poker are paid 1 to 1. A vigorish or commission, not to exceed 5%, may be charged on player’s winning hands.
(2)	The object of the game is to have both of the player’s hands rank higher than both hands of the dealer. Hands are ranked as traditional Poker hands. A player receives seven cards which must be arranged into two separate hands:
(a)	Two card “2nd highest” or “low” front hand;
(b)	Five card “highest” or “high” back hand.
	The player wins their bet, if they win both the front and the back hands against the dealer. The player loses their bet if they lose both the front and back hands. If they win one hand and lose the other, their bet pushes. If either hand ranks exactly the same as the dealer’s hand, this is a tie and the dealer wins all tie hands. The licensee handles all bets.
(3)	The following words and terms shall have the following meaning in Pai Gow Poker.
(a)	Copy Hand shall mean either a two card hand or a five card hand of a player which is identical in rank to the corresponding two card hand or five card hand of the dealer.
(b)	High Hand shall mean the five card hand which is formed from the seven cards dealt at the game of Pai Gow Poker so as to rank higher than the two card low hand.
(c)	Low Hand shall mean the two card hand which is formed from the seven cards dealt at the game of Pai Gow Poker so as to rank lower than the five card high hand.
(d)	Rank or Ranking shall mean the relative position of a card or group of cards in descending order.
(e)	Set or Setting The Hands shall mean the process of forming a high hand and low hand from the seven cards dealt. 
(f)	Suit shall mean one of the four categories of cards, i.e., diamond, spade, club or heart.
(g)	Chung is a white plastic marker, marking who will have first option for the Dragon Hand.
(4)	Pai Gow Poker shall be played with one standard deck of cards plus one joker.  All cards shall be dealt from hand, shuffler or a dealing shoe.
(5)	Pai Gow Poker shall be played with three dice which shall be maintained at all times inside a Pai Gow Poker Shaker or a random number generator to determine who receives the first hand. The Pai Gow Poker Shaker and the dice contained therein shall be the responsibility of the dealer and shall never be left unattended while at the table. Dice for Pai Gow Poker will be inspected at a minimum of every 24 hours and changed at the discretion of management.
(6)	When determining the order that hands are dealt out, the dealer counts as one and rotation is counter-clockwise. Hands will be delivered to corresponding seats until all players, including the dealer, have a hand. Any remaining dead hands may be directly discarded. Dead hands must not be exposed. The remaining four cards should be spread face down to check integrity of deck. Players may pick up their hands immediately. Other than four cards remaining will result in a misdeal. Re-deal with the next deck and take a new random number. Players’ hands with plus or minus seven cards will be void if the integrity of the deck is found to be valid (four cards remain). A misdeal will always be called if the dealer hand is plus or minus seven cards. Players must be seated to play the hand. 
(7)	If cards are dealt by hand, they will be dealt facedown in front of the dealer one at a time, from left to right back to left until seven piles have been created. At the end of this process there should be four discards spread facedown, verifying that the cards have been distributed properly.  If less than four cards are counted, the entire deck must be reshuffled. 
(8)	If dice are used, the dealer will shake the dice cup after the hands have been dealt in front of the tray. The dice cup will not be moved and will remain uncovered until all hands have been passed out. The total of the dice will determine which position gets the first hand.  The dealer will count counter clockwise counting the bank as one. The dealer will announce the outcome of the dice total while the cup remains visible on the layout. If a die is cocked (cocked dice result when a die leans against another die rather than resting flat on the surface of the bottom of the cup), call the natural fall of the die (the way the die would have fallen if the object were not present). If the dice land with one on top of the other it will not be counted. Dice will be shaken again. Players may change the amount of their bets prior to the shaking of the dice cup after which all bets are set.
(9)	Player’s wagers must be in increments established by the retail licensee. If both of the player’s hands win, the cards are left spread on the table and the dealer proceeds to the next hand. If both of the player’s hands lose, the wager shall be removed and put in the rack, and the cards will be put in the discard tray. When one of the player’s hands wins and the other loses, the dealer will announce a push and place the cards in the discard tray. In the case of an exact tie on a given hand, the dealer hand wins. The losing bets will be collected before paying the winning bets. Acting on each hand individually, winning bets are paid and the commission is collected. Cards are placed in the discard tray. 
(10)	The dealer may collect up to a 5% commission on all winning bets. The dealer, in front of the chip rack, must prove all commissions. Commission will not be collected on wagers bet for the dealer. 
(11)	Dragon Hand will be the last hand dealt that is not used on the table. Player selection will move counter clockwise offering each player a chance to play the Dragon Hand. Only one player per round could play the Dragon Hand. Player must set their hand before looking and setting the Dragon Hand. When the cards are dealt out the Chung will be placed on the Dragon hand. Once all hands are set, the Dragon Hand will be offered in order until someone accepts the hand. If no one wants the Dragon Hand, the cards will be placed in the discard rack. 
(a) 	If the licensee offers a community Dragon hand it will play after all players have set their hand. The dealer will announce to the players they have the option to wager on the Dragon Hand. Players will wager to their right of the betting circle or in a betting circle specified as the dragon betting circle, if they chose to wager on the dragon hand. After all wagers are set the dealer will open the Dragon Hand and set it according to “house ways”. Once the dealer sets the Dragon Hand, then they will set the dealer hand. After both the Dragon Hand and dealer’s hand are set, the dealer will settle all Dragon Hand wagers. Once Dagon wagers are settled, the dealer will proceed with each individual player’s hand and pay or take wagers according to house procedure. 
(b)      On a six spot wagering layout dragon hand wagering will be offered if a spot is not being played. On a five spot wagering layout the dragon hand will be the six spot on the layout and will always offered. The Dragon Hand will always be designated as spot 7 or spot 14, and will be clearly marked on the layout for cards to be placed and set. 
(12)	The order in which dealers set their hands shall be determined by the policy of the retail licensee.
(13)	The ranking of hands in Rule 47.1-1004 shall apply except that a retail licensee may designate the ranking of specific straights and straight flushes in their house rules.

The dealer will then remove all progressive bets from the table and place them in the tray. The dealer then follows house procedures for dealing the regular game.
