Benefits of technology

[0029] One advantage of the present invention is that the player has more wagering opportunities. Additional wagering opportunities mean more excitement for the players and more revenue for the casino.
[0030] The present invention also allows for the player to make a wager that could pay him more than the amount of his wager, which is not an option in a conventional Pai Gow or Pai Gow Poker game.
[0031] The invention also introduces the method of using separate pools of money to settle wagers that a hand will win against the Dealer Hand (Normal Bets) and wagers that a hand will push with the Dealer Hand (Push Bets).

Problems solved by technology

None of the wagering methods currently used in these games allow you to wager that a particular hand will push with the Dealer hand.

Abstract

A method of wagering in the games of Pai Gow and Pai Gow Poker, comprising a wager, called a push bet, that a particular player hand will push with the Dealer hand. This wager can be settled with the same pool of money that is used for bets that a player hand will win, or there can be a separate pool of money for this wager. The Push Bet may be available at any time or it may only be available if the same player makes another wager. In one embodiment the Push Bet pays a multiple of the wager. In another embodiment, the wager pays even money, but also qualifies the player to win a bonus. The present invention also includes a method of having a pool of money for settling push bets or tie bets that is different from the pool used to settle other bets.
