Traditional Pai Gow Poker has been a popular casino game for many years. The introduction of the bonus wager added excitement by allowing players to make an additional wager on receiving a high ranking poker hand, and it has increased profitability for the casino. Emperor’s Challenge has maintained those features and added an optional propositional wager called Pai Gow Insurance. Players who make this wager win with a hand of ace high or lower, or no pair. There are six different winning hands and pay outs. Emperor’s Challenge offers players three separate ways to win!

Perception is everything in gaming. Emperor’s Challenge Pai Gow Poker offers the traditional primary wager, a bonus wager, and an innovative third insurance wager. By adding a third betting option, the players will feel like they have every “scenario” covered. The bonus wager pays out on a good hand, and the insurance wager pays out on a poor hand. This perception will create a better gaming experience for the players. Increased units wagered will also translate to greater profitability in your pit.
