Another simple question whose answer I am sure is somewhere on here already. Have recently seen no commision Paigow at Eastside Cannery. What is the house edge on this game? According to the rules, a dealer's Q high Paigow results in a push. What if the dealer's Q high Paigow actually beats my hand? Is it still a push, or do I lose?
Also, in standard Paigow, what is the house edge? Assuming I am playing to protect my wager by playing for a tie on mediochre hands, mostly House-way I think.
And finally, if you discount the commission, what is the house edge?

In fact the Wizard recently published a review of EZ Pai Gow in the odds site.
The game, BTW, was invented by forum member Pai Gow Dan

It's still a push.
The edge is actually a tiny fraction smaller than regular Pai Gow Poker. But the house is OK with giving up that fraction, since the game moves faster, making more hands per hour - so they make more money in the long run.
I invented a few casino games. Info:

Didn’t want to start new thread so will tag along here. My wife sometimes asks me why I go to the casino if I win or lose so little. Today explains it!
Dealt 77722A9. Of course usual play is 777A9/22. But the guy to my left has a pair of aces. My friend to my right also has a pair of aces. So of course I keep the full house together. BAM! Dealer has a flush with a king in the 2 card hand. WIN!
Second hand. Friend has 2456789. I see him putting 42 up top. I alert him. He changes to 92 while giving me the ‘really’? stare. Dealer had straight flush! With a 43 in the two card hand!
I had one other hand not played house way that turned a push into a win.
I was there for 4 1/2 hours. Ended up a whopping $80. But I LOVED the first two hands I described. I think I’ll have accumulated 9 comp dollars as well.
