LEARN THE SECRETS OF THE TILES! Pai Gow Tiles is the thinking person’s casino game . It’s played in casinos throughout the United States, including places like Las Vegas, New Jersey, and California. Exotic and engaging, it combines skill and luck and-for the knowledgeable player, Pai Gow is also one of the fairest games offered in casinos and cardrooms. It may seem mysterious at first, but you’ll soon see that the game is actually pretty simple to learn, challenging to master, fun and sociable, and a great table game for preserving your bankroll. In 1981, Michael Musante was Supervisor of Oriental Games at the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas when he self-published a little book entitled Pai Gow - Chinese Dominoes. It was the first English-language book to comprehensively explain the game. In fact the Musante House Way -based on the first edition-is the foundation for the house way in many casinos. After 30 years, that book is acknowledged as a gaming classic with some online sellers asking hundreds of dollars for a used copy. This book revisits the original edition and contains extensive updates, all-new graphics, and additional insights into this ancient game. You’ll get an outstanding introduction to the lore, rules, and strategy of Pai Gow and a variety of tips and techniques for mastering the tiles. Also included are several suggestions to improve your play, as well as a first-of-its-kind chapter on how to memorize the order of the tiles. With this book and a bit of practice, you’ll be able to play intelligently and with confidence! ABOUT THE AUTHOR Michael J.
