Welcome to PaiGow! Create 2 poker hands from the 7 cards you are dealt to win in this new Poker game to hit Sky Vegas.

How to play

Select a chip for betting by clicking on a chip situated at the bottom of the screen. Click in the BET circle to deposit the chip. Repeat until the amount you want to bet is placed on the table. If you want to change your stake, click the CLEAR button and start again.

To place bets on the bonus game click on the JOKOLOR circle.

Commence play

Once you have placed your chips, click the DEAL button. Seven cards are dealt to you face up and seven cards are dealt to the banker face down. If you placed a bonus bet; it will be determined at this stage whether you have qualified for a bonus payout. Now you are ready to make your two poker hands; a 5-card hand (the Highest) and a 2-card hand (the 2nd Highest). There are two ways to make the two hands:

Manual selection

Click on two of your cards (which will make up the 2-card hand). Remember, the 5-card hand must be stronger than the 2-card hand.

House Way selection

Click the HOUSE WAY button and the cards are selected automatically according to the house rules.

Now you can:

Your 5-card (Highest) hand will be compared against the banker's Highest hand first, followed by the 2-card (2nd Highest) hand, which is compared to the banker's 2nd Highest hand. Both of your hands must beat the banker to win. If you win, winnings are credited to your account immediately.

House way

The rules of house way are as follows:

Two card hands

The 2-card hand will be either a pair or two individual cards. Any pair beats any two unmatched cards, but no other combinations are possible. The highest 2-card hand is a pair of Aces, and the lowest is 2-3. A Straight or a Flush does not apply within the ranking of the 2-card hand.

The Joker

The Joker is not a true wild card as it can only be used to complete a Straight, a Flush, Straight-Flush and a Royal Flush, otherwise it is treated as an Ace.

Poker rules

The 5-card hand is ranked according to standard poker rules but with one exception; the Ace-2-3-4-5 straight is the second highest straight.

Straights rank from highest to lowest as follows; Ace-K-Q-J-10, Ace-2-3-4-5, K-Q-J-10-9, 6-5-4-3-2. Also, keep in mind that the best 2-card hand is a pair of Aces; the 2-card hand cannot have a flush or a straight (since both a flush and a straight requires five cards). The lowest 2-card hand is a 3-2.

Bonus side bet

The bonus side bet is called 'Jokolor'. The Bonus Bet side wager is an optional bonus wager that considers the your best possible hand from all seven cards dealt to them, and is reconciled against payouts stated on the table and not against the banker's cards.

You can wager any amount within the table limits (as defined by the operator), which must be wagered at the same time as the Standard wager, but need not be of equal value to it.

If your hand does not achieve one of the hand rankings defined in the bonus bet, it will not qualify for a payout and you will forfeit your side wager.

If your hand does achieve one of the hand rankings, it will qualify for a Bonus pay out in accordance with payout odds that are stated on the table cloth.

The RTP for Jokolor side bets is 93.43%
