Pai Gow Poker originates from the ancient Chinese dominoes game of Pai Gow (which means to 'make nine'), and was invented by Fred Wolf in the early 1980s.
It wasn't long before the game found its way into the Las Vegas casinos, where it instantly became very successful and has remained a firm favourite with players ever since.
It is easy to play, so it is no surprise that it has also transferred well to the world of online gambling.
