Abstract
A method of administering a wagering game includes accepting an ante wager to participate in a commission-free pai gow poker game and accepting an optional side wager from at least one player. Randomized physical cards from a set of cards comprising at least one 52-card deck of standard playing cards are dealt to provide a seven-card hand to the at least one player and a seven-card hand to a dealer. The ante wager is resolved by comparing two-card and five-card pai gow player hands formed from the at least one player's seven-card hand with two-card and five-card pai gow dealer hands formed from the dealer's seven-card hand. A payout is paid to the at least one player based on the optional side wager when the dealer's seven-card hand contains a winning hand of a set of predetermined winning hands. Methods also relate to administering wagering games over networks.
