Same game, same stake: 59 hrs of play against 24 hrs. Worth two minutes checking which table you are on.
Pai Gow Poker is the slowest way to lose money in a casino, which — if you are playing for the evening rather than the jackpot — makes it one of the better ones.
Seven cards are split into a five-card hand and a two-card hand, both of which must beat the dealer's equivalents. Ties go to the dealer, and ties happen constantly. Something like 40% of hands are a push. You can sit for a long time on a small stake.
The house edge is about 2.84% of the original wager for a player who never banks, with 5% commission on wins. It is not a cheap game per hand, but the combination of pushes and the slow pace makes the hourly cost low.
