Pai Gow is a well-loved game in Armenia, offering a unique blend of traditional Chinese and Western poker elements. Played with a standard deck of 52 cards and one joker, two hands are dealt to each player, with each hand consisting of two cards - known as the front and back hand. Players must then attempt to create two winning hands, with the back hand beating the front hand.
In Armenia, the game is traditionally played in land-based casinos and is extremely popular among gamers in the country. Until recently, players had limited access to online live casinos, but the introduction of several digital platforms has made it possible to enjoy Pai Gow from the comfort of home.
