Pai Gow Supplies
Though there are some casinos both online and offline that offer pai gow tiles on their roster, there are still some people who want to play this game at home with friends. Much like poker home games, pai gow “home games” can be a lot of fun and make an afternoon or an evening extra interesting. So how do you go about setting up a pai gow game at home? Of course first you need supplies before you can start inviting people.
Just like poker, you would need buttons to play pai gow. You can get dealer buttons, action buttons, and banker buttons. They are normally rectangular in shape and are often found in a pearl white finish. You would also need pai gow dice. You can find them in sets of three, with a wide variety of colors. To complement these, you would need to get pai gow cups. Common finishes would be silver and gold.
In order to play pai gow you would need a table to set things up. It is really just like any other card game. Depending on your preferences and your budget, you have a variety of options when it comes to the table. If you have spare cash you might want to have someone make a table for you. Yet it is possible to use any flat surface as well. You just need to buy the layout for the surface. It’s like a table top with the layout for the players.
Last but not the least, you need the tiles. We’ll look at tiles in more detail in the next post.
