"EZ Pai Gow has dominated the floor when
compared to all other forms of Pai Gow wherever it is deployed,"
stated Earle G. Hall, President and
CEO of DEQ. "It is the only true non commission form of
Pai Gow where the push mechanism is offset by a very enticing
optional side bet. Feedback from operators and clients has been
very positive and now the ability to analyze the data from
Missouri enables us to show
numbers to support the great comments we have had. We would like to
congratulate Lubin-Jones for this revolutionary invention and we
are very excited about the future placements of this game all over
the USA."
ABOUT EZ PAI GOW™
EZ Pai Gow is a revolutionary method of accelerating the speed of
Pai Gow poker by eliminating the 5% commission on winning hands.
The commission is replaced by imposing a push when the dealer gets
a Queen High Pai Gow (Queen high
hand). Players can side bet on the occurrence of the dealer's Queen
high Pai Gow and the side bet is trademarked as the "Queens'
Dragon™". This side wager pays 50 to 1 and creates an additional
way for the player to win and a new revenue source for the casino.
The EZ Pai Gow methodology and the Queen's Dragon bet were created
by Dan Lubin of Lubin-Jones, LLC.
These methods are protected within the scope of Lubin-Jones no
commission Pai Gow intellectual property portfolio.
