It has a house advantage of 2.47%. That is slightly lower than regular Pai Gow Poker at 2.73%, if you do not bank. But it is worse than regular Pai Gow Poker if you bank at every opportunity. With banking you are at 1.46% when playing heads up. It gets lower if there are other players playing against you depending on how many are playing and the amount they are wagering.

The house advantage on the side bets are as follows:

1) Dynasty Bet same as Fortune bet on the regular table
Since it pays an envy bonus, it depends on the number of players and the amount you wager on the bonus. It starts at 8.16% with one player and decreases with each additional player down to 3.64% at a full table.

2) Queen high Pai Gow that the dealer gets This pays 50 to 1 . Note the average for Queen high for the dealer is 1 every 57 hands. I have seen the counter at the table many times over 100 and today at 250.
house advantage is 10.0%

3) Pai gow bets on your hand
house advantage is 7.0%

Thanks Skinny. Those are the %% I was wondering about. I always bank when I am heads up with the dealer and sometimes with other players depending on their bets.

It seams to me that the EZ game is faster and more hands as the dealers do not have to worry about the commission.

Thanks again CC Roller

Frank tells me his new book, "Everything Casino Poker", is now in print and should be out shortly. I think the cover will look like the following:



I was in AC this weekend and played some EZ Pai Gow. I found it as previously described, but they would not let me bank. Don’t know if this is just this one house or not but it also helps the HA.

You are correct. You can not bank with EZ Pai Gow. I have played at 2 local casinos and 1 when I was on holidays, and the answer is the same.. No Banking.
