Was there any explanation why there are three "six" value tiles and only one "three"?


Not in that page. The rules of pai gow, state that the 1+2 and 2+4 tiles are wild, and are worth 3 or 6 points. So there are really 2 wild tiles and 4 tiles worth six points.

However, your question leads to the question of why the Gee and Joon were chosen to be wild. To that, I have no idea.
It's not whether you win or lose; it's whether or not you had a good bet.

Very cool stuff! Thanks Wizard! The last update day should be 2012, not 2011. That's it, thanks again.

I think the part in bold is an error.
No error. . . .

I think what Nareed means is that it should say PAI GOW POKER, instead of PAI POKER POKER, ...

Superstitions are silly, childish, irrational rituals, born out of fear of the unknown. But how much does it cost to knock on wood?

Great article. Hey, I was at that session with Colonel Rob! What a night at the tables that was . . .
