The player&#8217;s hands must beat the house&#8217;s hands to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Players start out by placing a bet in the main bet area on the table. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They receive a total of Seven cards. The player must then select two cards to make up the LOW hand, the unselected five cards will make up the HIGH hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Player&#8217;s HIGH hand must outrank the LOW hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To assist with this decision, two of the cards will be highlighted, suggesting that these cards be used as the LOW hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once the selection has been made, the cards will be sorted into two hands, the house will also reveal its cards and sort them into two hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The player wins if both hands beat both the house&#8217;s hands, pushes if only one hand beats the house&#8217;s hands, and loses if both hands do not beat the house&#8217;s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also an optional Fortune Bonus side bet which is based on all of the player&#8217;s seven cards and pays on a straight or better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winnings from side bets are added to the total win when the pays are evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.17.56-1024x574.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.17.56-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.17.56-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.17.56-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.17.56.png 1330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"border: 0;width: 100%;text-align: left;position: relative;font-family: 'Red Hat Display', sans-serif !important;background-color: #151515;color: #FFD400;margin: 0;padding: 10px 30px;font-size: 26px;font-weight: bold;text-align: center\">HOW TO PLAY<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The game uses one 52-card deck plus a single joker (53 cards in total), which is shuffled at the conclusion of each hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To begin the game, the player must place a bet in the ante bet area (white circle). The Fortune Bonus side bet (yellow circle) is optional.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Player and House are each dealt seven cards face down. The Player&#8217;s cards are then revealed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Player must then select two cards to be used as their LOW hand. Two of the Player&#8217;s cards will be highlighted, suggesting that these cards be used.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Player&#8217;s cards will then be sorted in to LOW and HIGH hands (denoted by &#8216;Low&#8217; and &#8216;High&#8217; on the game table). The HIGH hand will consist of the five remaining cards that were not chosen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Player&#8217;s HIGH hand must outrank the LOW hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The House&#8217;s cards are then revealed and also sorted into LOW and HIGH hands. These areas are also denoted by &#8216;Low&#8217; and &#8216;High&#8217; on the game table.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the Player&#8217;s LOW hand outranks the House&#8217;s LOW hand and the Player&#8217;s HIGH hand outranks the House&#8217;s HIGH hand, the Player wins.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If only one of the Player&#8217;s hands outranks the corresponding House&#8217;s hand, the Player draws with the House.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If neither of the Player&#8217;s hands outranks the House&#8217;s hands, the Ante bet is lost<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The optional Fortune Bonus side bet is based on all of the Player&#8217;s seven cards, regardless of how the Player chooses to split their cards, or the House&#8217;s cards. Players are paid according to the Fortune Bonus paytable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In Fortune Pai Gow Poker, the Joker is WILD and substitutes for any other card when used to complete a Straight, Flush, Straight Flush or Royal Flush. Otherwise, the Joker substitutes as an Ace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10135 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.11.16-2048x1152.png 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/576;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"border: 0;width: 100%;text-align: left;position: relative;font-family: 'Red Hat Display', sans-serif !important;background-color: #151515;color: #FFD400;margin: 0;padding: 10px 30px;font-size: 26px;font-weight: bold;text-align: center\">Hand Rankings<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Fortune Pai Gow Poker&#8217;s base bet, hands are ranked from highest to lowest as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Five Aces<\/strong> (contains the following cards: A, A, A, A with Joker)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Royal Flush<\/strong> (contains the following cards of the same suit: A, K, Q, J, 10)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Straight Flush<\/strong> (contains five cards in sequential value and of the same suit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Four of a Kind<\/strong> (contains four cards of the same value)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Full House<\/strong> (contains three matching cards of one value and two matching cards of another value)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flush<\/strong> (contains five cards of the same suit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Straight<\/strong> (contains five cards of sequential value in at least two different suits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Three of a Kind<\/strong> (contains three cards of the same value)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Two Pair<\/strong> (contains two cards of the same value, plus two more of another matching value)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pair<\/strong> (contains two cards of the same value)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High Card<\/strong> (single highest card in hand)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"574\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.18.49-1024x574.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10133 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.18.49-1024x574.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.18.49-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.18.49-768x430.png 768w, https:\/\/www.casinotime.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Screenshot-2019-01-31-at-16.18.49.png 1330w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/574;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Fortune Pai Gow Poker&#8217;s optional sidebet, hand ranks differ slightly from the base bet.
