Pai Gow Poker in Macau

Hello. I saw there was an answer to this question that says no, there is no Pai Gow Poker anywhere in Macau, but it was 12 years out of date. Perhaps things have changed? Does anyone know if they have Pai Gow Poker in Macau and if so which casino?

Pai Gow Poker is indeed available in Macau, although it is less common than in Las Vegas or other Western casinos. In Macau, casinos primarily cater to Baccarat and Sic Bo, but some of the larger, international-style casinos do offer Pai Gow Poker tables to attract Western tourists.

Here are some key points to know:

  • Pai Gow Poker can usually be found in casinos with a focus on international table games rather than exclusively catering to VIP baccarat players.
  • Minimum bets may be higher than in US casinos, depending on the casino’s location and clientele.
  • Availability can vary day to day, so it’s recommended to call ahead or check the casino floor upon arrival.

Some Macau casinos known to have offered Pai Gow Poker in recent years include:

  • The Venetian Macao – large casino floor with a variety of international table games, including Pai Gow Poker.
  • City of Dreams – has several international table game tables.
  • Galaxy Macau – occasionally offers Pai Gow Poker along with other poker variants.

In summary, while Pai Gow Poker is not as prevalent as Baccarat, it is available at select Macau casinos. Checking ahead or asking the casino staff upon arrival is the best way to ensure you can play during your visit.
