Face Up Pai Gow at WickedBet
Face Up Pai Gow is part of WickedBet Originals, a collection of provably fair games built in-house. Every round uses a cryptographic seed pair that you can verify after the game. The house edge and payout tables are public.
You split your cards into a five-card "high" hand and a two-card "low" hand. Both of your hands must beat both of the dealer's hands to win. In this Face Up variant, the dealer's cards are visible before you set your hands. Optionally place a Fortune Bonus side bet.

Provably Fair
Before each round, the server generates a hashed seed. You can set your own client seed. After the round, the server seed is revealed so you can independently verify the result was determined before your bet. This is a standard provably fair implementation using SHA-256.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Fortune Bonus in Pai Gow?
A side bet evaluated on your full 7-card hand. Payouts range from 2:1 for a Straight to 8000:1 for a 7-card Straight Flush without the Joker.
How does the Joker work?
In the high hand, the Joker completes straights or flushes, otherwise it counts as an Ace. In the low hand, it always counts as an Ace. For Millionaire Mode, the Joker cannot substitute for target spades.
How does Millionaire Mode use my cards?
Your 7-card hand is checked against the 6 target spades (9 through Ace). Pai Gow is a natural fit since you already hold 7 cards — no bonus cards needed.
What does face-up mean?
The dealer's cards are fully visible, so you can see what you need to beat before setting your high and low hands.
Is Pai Gow provably fair?
Yes. SHA-256 cryptographic commitment verifies every hand. The seed is revealed after each round for independent verification.
