I don't know about the odds, but this is a lot like the Chinese domino game Tau Ngau. Same exact rules, but played with dominoes instead of cards. I've played it with friends, and it's pretty fun. Interesting to see it's made it's way into casinos!
If it is Tau Ngau, this is the first I've heard of it. Looks like it is played with the same 32-tile set as pai gow. However, the rules mention discarding and that is about as far as I got.
