10.0 Division 12 - Pai Gow

Ranking of the Tiles

10.1 Rule 4.2 of this division is hereby deleted and the following substituted:

"4.2 When a 2 tile hand ranks lower than Day High Nine (ranking 22), the value of that hand shall be:

(a) determined by totalling the respective point values of the 2 tiles forming the hand;

(b) where the total of the point values of the tiles in the hand is a number from 0 to 9 inclusive, that number; and

(c) where the total of the point values of the tiles is the number 10 or above, the right digit of that number.

For the purposes of this rule, the point value of a tile is the number of dots on its face, except that each of the 2 tiles comprising the pair Gee Jun may be counted as either a 3 or a 6."

10.2 Rule 4.3 of this division is hereby deleted and the following substituted:

"4.3 Where the respective point values of each 2 tile hand are the same, then the point value of each such hand is further ranked by the ranking of the highest individual tile in that hand."

10.3 Section 4 of this division is hereby amended by inserting after rule 4.3 the following:

"4.4 Individual tiles shall rank, from highest to lowest, as set out in Appendix 3.

4.5 A 2 tile hand with the same point value as the bank's 2 tile hand and the same high ranking tile is called a 'copy'.

4.6 The bank, whether held by the house or the player or in conjunction with the house, shall win any 'copy' hands.

4.7 A 2 tile hand with the point total of 0 has no ranking, and shall therefore be a 'copy' hand if both the player and banker have a 2 tile hand of 0."

Wagers

10.4 Rule 6.1 of this division is hereby deleted and the following substituted:

"6.1 Each player in a round, other than the player/banker (if any), shall make a wager against the bank, which shall:

(a) win if:

(i) the player's high hand is higher ranking than the banker's high hand and the player's low hand is higher ranking than the banker's low hand, or

(ii) the banker and the player have the same value hand and the player's high tile is of a higher ranking than the banker's high tile;
