THE GAME

Asia poker is based on an ancient Chinese game called “13 Cards” and combines the elements of Pai Gow Poker and the American game of Poker. The game is played with a traditional deck of 52 playing cards plus one joker. The joker can be used only as an Ace, or to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush or a royal flush.

All wagers at Asia poker shall be made by placing gaming chips on the appropriate betting area of the Asia poker layout. Only players who are seated at the Asia poker table may place a wager at the game.

To determine the starting position, the dealer shall count counter clockwise around the table with the position of the dealer considered #1, and continuing around the table with each betting position counted in order, including the dealer, regardless of whether there is a wager at the position, until the count matches the total of the three (3) dice.

Each player shall be responsible for setting his or her own hand. Players may however ask the dealer for assistance in which case the dealer will set the hand according to the house ways. Players must keep all seven cards in plane view at all times.

Players may not touch their cards once they have placed them face down on the appropriate area of the layout.

A player may announce that he or she wishes to surrender his or her wagers prior to the dealer exposing any of the three hands of that player. Once the player has announced his intention to surrender the dealer will immediately collect the wager and the seven cards without exposing them.
