Pai Gow Moments

Pai Gow is fast becoming one of the favorite gambling activities in the US, both online and offline. In fact, derivatives such as Pai Gow Poker have been created due to this popularity. With other card games and gambling activities, one of the reasons for their popularity and widespread acceptance is the existence of a number of professional players.

These professional players add glitz and glamour to the game. Take for example Texas Hold ‘em Poker and Blackjack. The prolific names in these card games add to the excitement of the whole thing. Legends have been created and continue to influence the worlds of these card games.

As Pai Gow is not as established or widely known as Texas Hold ‘em Poker and Blackjack, it comes as no surprise that there aren’t too many professional Pai Gow players as of yet. Try doing a search on Google or Yahoo for “professional Pai Gow players” and the chances are that you would come up with almost nothing.

However, there are some professional gamblers who do dabble in Pai Gow. Take for example Bill Zender, one of the most notable figures in the world of blackjack. He is also involved in the business of casinos and has authored several books as well. In addition to all these, he is also considered a professional Pai Gow player. More so, he also plays Pai Gow Poker.

He claims that he prefers playing Pai Gow gives you a great game where the money is good and steady. More so, he says that in Pai Gow, there is no heat. What does he mean by that? He was probably referring to the fact that in Pai Gow, you play against each other and not the house.

In any case, it is quite a pity that there aren’t more professional Pai Gow players out there. This is a very interesting and exciting game, comparable to poker and al its variants. Perhaps one reason for this is the fact that there is a lack of publicity. Then again, it could be the lack of professional players that is causing the lack in publicity. It’s something like the chicken or the egg – which came first?

Anyway, the fact remains that despite the lack of people who play Pai Gow professionally, the game still deserves attention, which, I believe, a lot of people are realizing right now. Who knows, there might be more emerging Pai Gow players in the near future?
