Island View ( about 13 miles west of Beau Rivage) has a single table and they told me they had it for about 6 months. Everyone I asked said this was the only table in the Biloxi/Gulfport area.
They opened it at 4PM and I played for about 3 hours. My hands were terrible and the normal commission would have added to my loss.
I did not play any of the side bets, but they looked like fun. They keep a counter going for the dealers Q high Pai Gow, when all hands push. It reached 237 hands before it hit again and it had to hit when I got one of the few strong hands I had all afternoon! S###!

This was my first chance to play it and I enjoyed the lack of a commission. The table stayed full the whole time I was there.

Thanks to PaiGowDan for designing this game. If I have a choice, I will always pick EZ over regular PGP.

Yes, we are now in the Biloxi area now. Spreading out and taking ovah!

My distributor, DEQ, added the tracker to their "EZ Trak" system, and people seem to like tracking the rare dealer's non-qualifying hand.

The game is doing phenomenally well, just great. So much front end fine-tuning work was put into the game, and it paid off. Front-end work on game design is so important.

Thanks for the input !!

Got another Pai Gow game coming out soon, full poker pai Gow, too.

Scott, I LIKE the way you think; Pai Gow Poker is one of the few mainstay table games that is expanding for a reason.

We do not yet have an Internet app for the game, but will be working on an I-Phone App for the game.

I will post a thread on Pai Gow-8's FULL SPECS once I get an okay from DEQ. The game has been disclosed publicly in a DEQ press Release, so I do not think it is a problem, but will check.

Question for you. Tonight I played your EZ pai gow game in a casino for the first time. Can you tell me why the envy bonuses for your dynasty bet are so much lower to the comparable payouts for the fortune bet? I mean if someone gets a 7 card natural SF instead of getting $10,000 in envy for my two hands I get $800? Couldn't the envy payouts be tweaked a bit or would that make the side bet too generous?



That depends on the number of optional pay tables that the casino operator decides to use.

When we first game out with the game, we offered a "cautious" paytable system, when the game was in its infancy, and could not risk a devestating 7-card straight flush.

Since then, we have fully adopted the "Standard full payout Paytables," - and most places do use them, - but a few operators still use the more cautious lower pay tables.
Now, the house edges are NOT lower - there have more payouts to make up for this, - but no ONE paytable items breaks the bank.
