Pai Gow Casinos
Not all online casino offer pai gow poker. This page is dedicated to showing you the most popular and most reputable online casinos that offer Pai-Gow poker.
Bet365 Casino
Bet365
is one of the largest and most popular online gambling sites in the UK. They
have over 2 million customers in 140 different countries
and the website is available in 17 different languages. Currently,
Bet365 does not accept customers from the United States.
Although Bet365 has both a flash and download version of their casino, pai gow poker is only available on the downloaded version of the casino.
Bet365 does offer a bonus to new players, but pai gow poker wagers do not count towards meeting the bonus requirements.
BetUS Casino
BetUS is one of the first online casino and sportsbooks, being created in 1994. They are one of the most popular gambling sites in the United States. If you like to be able to bet on multiple things with one account, then BetUS is for you.
When you play pai gow poker at BetUS, it can be a little cumbersome or tedious. Unless you press the House Way button, you have to click and drag all 7 cards and manually split them up between the high and low hands.
Now this is only a problem when you are not betting the house way. Playing the house way makes the game go much quicker, but takes out all the decision making from the game.
BetUS Casino offers players an initial deposit and weekly bonuses, but pai gow poker is one of the few games that does not count for their bonus.
Bodog Casino
Bodog
is another all-in-one gambling site and is right up there in U.S. popularity
with BetUS. They were created just after BetUS in 1995. They have recently
come out with a version of their casino that you can play on your mobile
phone.
One thing that I like about Bodog is that you are not required to register at all if you want to play their games for fun. Another plus for Bodog is that they have some of the quickest payouts that you will see from an online casino, usually only a day or two.
Like I mentioned on the home page, Bodog does allow its players to use the bonus money they receive to play pai gow poker. This is one of the few casinos that does this. There are a couple of others on this list that do as well, but they only allow a percentage of every bet to be counted toward wagering requirements.
Cherry Red Casino
Cherry
Red is relatively new, only being a couple years old. But they have an
excellent casino with all the normal games you would expect to see. They
have very good customer service and have made a good reputation for
themselves. Cherry Red does allow players from the U.S.
They offer both a flash and downloadable version of their software and most of their casino games are available on both, including pai gow poker. Using RTG's software, the pai gow poker game is a little basic and could use a touchup or two compared to some of the other software providers. But if you like other card and table games, they more than deliver.
Although Cherry Red Casino has several bonuses, none of them allow pai gow poker to be played. The one good thing is that they don't try to force the bonuses down your throat. You have to put in a bonus code in order to receive the bonus.
DaVinci's Gold
DaVinci's
Gold in another online casino that accepts customers for every state in the
U.S. except for Kentucky. Their main bread and butter is their video slots,
but they have pai gow poker and most of the other normal casino games you
would expect.
This casino only offers a downloadable version of their software, but it is better that a lot of other online casinos I've played at. Their pai gow poker game is one of the nicer versions of the game out their.
I am a little confused about their bonuses, mainly because I haven't accepted theirs yet and it does not list any banned games from their bonuses, except for progressive jackpot slots. I didn't see anything mentioning that pai gow poker was not allowed, but I think that these bonuses pertain to their slots games.
English Harbour
English
Harbour is one of the UK's first online casinos. They use Vegas Technology
software, which I mentioned was my favorite software for playing pai gow
poker because of the realistic way it is presented, like at a real casino.
US players are welcome.
English Harbour offers a 100% deposit bonus on your first four deposits. The maximum amount of bonus money you can receive is $200 per deposit. Pai gow poker is allowed to be played, but wagers only count 20% towards the overall wagering requirements.
This bonus is not cashable and is for extra wagering purposes only. Once you decide to cash out, the $200 bonus will be removed from your account.
Golden Palace
Golden
Palace is one of the largest and most famous online casinos, having served
more then 5 million players since 1997. They offer both a flash and
downloadable version of their casino.
Unfortunately, Golden Palace does not currently accept bets from players in the US, but they will allow anybody to play their games for fun.
Any bonus that Golden Palace offers does not allow pai gow poker to be played.
InterCasino
I
used to play at InterCasino several years ago. They always have had very
good games. I can remember playing pai gow poker there a little. This casino
no longer accepts players from the US.
However, they do offer a 100% welcome bonus for card games for players outside of the US. This bonus is for people who like to play card games, including pai gow poker. The maximum bonus you can receive is $/£/€100.
I've found this article on how to play intercasino games for free. You can download their software and try out all InterCasino's games. They have some of the best slots and table games available online.
Millionaire Casino
Millionaire
Casino is owned by the same group that owns English Harbour. Therefore, the
experience of the pai gow poker game won't be any different.
This casino also offers the same style of bonus that English Harbour offers. 20% of all pai gow poker bets count towards the bonus' wagering requirements.
The big difference with Millionaire Casino is that the bonus money offered is much larger. They will match your deposit up to $2,000 on your first deposit, $1,000 on your second deposit and $2,000 on the third deposit.
Like English Harbour, this bonus is for wagering purposes only and can not be withdrawn from the account.
Rushmore Casino
Rushmore
Casino is owned by the same group that owns Cherry Red Casino. It is also a
relative newcomer, but it is one of the most popular casino websites in the
past few and they have the same rules and conditions that Cherry Red has.
This means they also offer both flash and download versions of their casinos. I recommend downloading the casino, because the flash version is very basic and has little in the way of any kind of reasonable graphics.
Also, any bonuses offered by Rushmore will not include pai gow poker as an accepted game. Rushmore requires you to enter in a bonus code at the cashier in order to get the bonus, so you don't have to worry about accepting it on accident.
This Is Vegas
This
is Vegas uses Rival software, which means the pai gow poker game looks very
similar to DaVinci's Gold. There is a House Way button that shows you what
the dealer would do with your cards.
This is Vegas offers a total of 5 casino bonuses. Of these, only 2 of them allow pai gow poker to be played. There is a 25% All-Games Signup bonus that is worth up to $/£/€ 250 and a 25% All-Games bonus worth up to $/£/€ 150.
As the name suggests, all games means that you can play any game at the casino. The only thing that you cannot do is bet on irregular betting patterns, such both red and black in roulette. These actions are viewed as cheating because the person is trying to bet a lot without risking much, if anything, for the sake of getting the bonus money.
VIP Casino
VIP
Casino is owned by the same group as InterCasino. It was built as a sister
site to InterCasino for more experienced and dedicated online casino
players. Their software is provided by Cryptologic. Any casino that uses
Cryptologic's software does not allow players from the US.
VIP has the following casino bonus for new players: New players that deposit up to $/£/€ 50 will be eligible to receive a 50% match bonus, worth a maximum of $/£/€ 180. Pai gow poker is allowed to be played with this bonus.
