FACE UP PAI GOW has a side bet on the dealer getting Ace High. ($5 Minimum on the Strip ; $1 Minimum at South Point ). If he does, it pays 5/1. If he has it with a Joker in his hand, it pays 15/1 . If he gets it ( with or without a Joker ) AND you also get it ( with or without a Joker ) it pays 40/1 . Can anyone work out the odds on those events and hence the house advantages Thank you

The Wizard's page reports a house edge. -0.092900 . Not a great return as side bets go.
