This is an issue I noticed with pai gow poker while I was playing on Jackpot capital. The game does not operate correctly under its own rules. I'm unsure whether this is an issue with Jackpot Capital writing down the wrong rules, or RTG for the game not following their own written rules. If I had to bet on it I'd say the error is probably on RTG's end.
on the left side of the screenshot, the house way for pai gow poker in Jackpot Capital. You can access this page by clicking the help button on the main screen.
on the right side of the screenshot, a particular hand that shows the written house way is not being followed.
As you can see, Under the splitting guideline, 2 pair is to always be split. However, in the hand, 99/77 was not split and AT was split instead.
Anyone decent at pai gow would tell you this error is not in the player's favor. I don't have the exact numbers but I estimate house edge is ~0.3% higher than what it would be if the house way is followed as it is written.
Thoughts?
