Rules of Asia Poker

Asia Poker is a smart mix of pai gow poker and a Chinese card game known as "13 cards."

Rules of Asia Poker

• A 53-card deck with one joker is used. Otherwise, the joker is classified as an ace unless used to complete a straight flush, straight flush, or royal flush (the same way as pai gow poker).
• The dealer and the player both receive seven cards after placing a stake.
• The player should make a one-card low hand, a two-card middle hand, and a four-card high hand with his cards.
• The low hand cannot be more valuable than the medium hand, and the medium hand cannot be more valuable than the high hand. A violation of this rule will result in a loss of the hand.
• There are no straights or flushes in the medium hand, only pairs and two singletons.
• There are no full houses in four-card poker, so the poker rankings are the same as in traditional poker. One reader has questioned this rule. Thus it must be confirmed.
• The dealer must position his hand in the "house way," which is described further below.
• The three hands of the player are compared to the three hands of the dealer. The hand with the higher value will prevail in each comparison. Ties will be given to the dealer.
• If the player wins two or more of the three hands, he will be paid out at even money. Otherwise, he will be defeated. It's worth noting that winnings are not subject to commission.
• In addition, a Bonus Bet based on the poker value of the player's seven-card hand may be offered. Below are the payout tables for the Bonus Bet.
