Pai gow Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old casino game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early 19th century, Chinese laborers introduced the casino game while working in California.

Introduced into the poker suites of California in ‘86, the game’s instant popularity and popularity with Asian poker players drew the attention of Nevada’s betting house operators who swiftly assimilated the casino game into their own poker suites. The reputation of the casino game has continued into the 21st century.
