Local here and rarely in Harrah’s. I was walking through last week and saw a “5 Card Pai Gow” table. There were no chips in the rack, so I have no idea if the game is on its way out or on its way in. Does anybody have any info on this?

I suspect it is CGD's game 5-Card Pai Gow, I believe it is on the way in for a field trial.

In the 5 card pai gow game, what are the hand rankings for the 3 card hand?

Specifically if one hand is 3oak and the other hand is a 3-card flush, which hand wins?

If one hand is a 3-card flush and the other hand is a 3-card straight, who wins?

I am pretty sure the 3-card poker hand follows typical 3-card poker hand rankings:
Straight Flush
Trips
Straight
Flush
Pair
High Card

I found a demo of their game online, and my higher flush lost to a straight, but the other combinations would be harder to confirm.

Thanks. I suspected this,but obviously felt a need to check.

Thanks for the link to the demo game. Very interesting Dealer plays this hand J-J-9-7-4 as J-9-4| J-7

and Q-Q-8-3-2 as Q-8-2 | Q-3
