Pai Gow has been played throughout Asia for centuries and is the predecessor of the modern games of Chemin de Fer, Baccarat and Blackjack.

Literally translated, it means "to make nine." Pai Gow is a complex rotating bank game that uses a standard set of Chinese dominoes (32). The dealer will always bank the first i hand. After the first hand, the dealer will offer the bank to each player in turn counter-clockwise. The player has the option of either accepting the bank, or passing it on to the next player. If no one ac-i- cepts the bank, the house will al- ways bank.

The dealer starts the game by i rolling three dice. The total of the dice determines which player de-; termines which player receives the first set of dominoes. Each player receives four dominoes and plays two hands simultaneously, a high hand and a low hand. Both hands must be higher than the bank's hand to win. If one hand is higher than the bank's hands to win.

If one hand is higher, the other is lower, it is a push. If both of the players' hands are lower than the bank's hands, the player loses. Pai Gow is similar to playing two separate hands of Baccarat at the same time, with nine being the highest point; except that there are 20 different combinations of dominoes that are higher than nine. Sixteen of these combinations are pairs. The other four combinations of dominoes are called Wong and Gong.

Riviera Pai Gow players can enjoy the refreshment table located in the Pai Gow pit.
