2. In the game of Pai Gow, some houses will play the Dragon hand, as follows. If the table is not full, i.e., short one or more players, there will be a dragon hand available. In Pai Gow, even if the table is not full, all hands are dealt to the player positions. After the deal, the dealer will gather up all the hands that there are no players, except for one hand, which becomes the dragon hand. The dragon chip is then placed on top of that hand. After the players set their hands, the dragon hand is then offered, in turn, to each player until one of them says yes, I want to play it. At that point they have to match the amount they bet on their other hand, and then they get the hand. Once it is set, the dealer shows his/her hand, sets it and they finish the hands.
So, the dragon hand is basically a second hand for one of the players, in a set rotation.
LMK about your offer, and is it getting cold there yet?
