Pai gow Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early 1800’s, Chinese laborers introduced the casino game while working in California.

The game’s reputation with Chinese bettors eventually attracted the interest of entrepreneurial gamblers who replaced the classic tiles with cards and shaped the casino game into a new kind of poker. Introduced into the poker suites of California in 1986, the game’s instant acceptance and reputation with Asian poker gamblers drew the attention of Nevada’s casino owners who swiftly assimilated the casino game into their own poker rooms. The reputation of the casino game has continued into the twenty-first century.
