Reason #1 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Excellent customer support
The thing that separates Bodog from the rest is its customer support. Many other online gaming companies outsource their support. It can be difficult getting a response from them, and if you do it is often slow and handled by somebody with little understanding of gambling or even of English. But Bodog's support is handled by Bodog, and their support staff is actually knowledgeable and helpful.
I'm so confident that you'll have a good experience with Bodog that if you have a problem getting paid and you can't resolve it with them on your own, I'll talk to them myself. I personally have known the Bodog management for about three years and always found them to be professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I have also personally visited one of their call centers so I could see first-hand how they handle customer issues. (More on my mediation service.)
If you have a problem with any other casino besides Bodog, I can't help you. I get complaints from players of other online casinos every day who have difficulty getting paid. However that isn't my job nor my problem. If you play at Bodog after clicking through my site I'll stand behind you 100%. Any place else and you're on your own. (Visit Bodog)

Casino Canberra House Way
Last update: Apr. 19, 2009
The following is the Casino Canberra house way for pai gow (tiles). If more than one rule applies, use the one listed first.
Pair Rules
- A
- Never split the following pairs (4, 5, 6, 10, 11, gee-joon).
- B
- Split 2's and 12's to make 6/8 or better.
- C
- Split 9's to make 9-9 or higher.
- D
- Split 8's to make 7-9, or 8-8 or higher.
- E
- Split 7's to make 7-High Nine or higher.
Finally, never split a pair if the alternative would result in two lower hands. For example, rule B above would suggest splitting 12,12,gee,4 to make 6/8. However, retaining the pair results in 7-pair, higher low and high hands.
- Wong, Gong, and High Nine Rule
Play a high-9 (high tile 2 or 12), gong, or wong whenever possible.
Given the choice of the 2 or 12 tile, use the 12.
Given the choice, play high-9 first, then gong, then wong. However, if doing so results in a low-3 (where high tile is less than high-6) or less, then maximize the high.
- All Other Hands
- Never play any hand that does not maximize the point count (total points between the two hands).
-
If the maximum low hand is at least a high-3 (high tile is high-6 or better), then play that.
-
Otherwise, if the maximum high is at least a 7, then play that.
-
Otherwise, maximize the low hand.
As long as the two point totals are not altered, given the choice:
- If the high hand is 7 or less, then play high tile in the low hand, otherwise play the high tile in the high hand.
-
Do not play two tiles of high-6 or higher in the same hand.
- Exceptions
- A
- Play 3-wong with teen, teen, 9 and 11.
- B
- Play 7-9 with high-8, high-10, 11 and 7.
- C
- Play 7-9 with gee/joon, 6, 5, and teen/day.
- D
- Play a 9 with gee, 4, 5, and another tile not making a pair.
- E
- Play high-7 & low-8 with high-8, low-8, 9, and low-10.
- F
- Play high-3 & low-9 with high-6, low-6, gee/joon, and 7.
- G
- Play 3-gong with 12/2, 8, 9, and low-4.
- H
- Play low-1, high-7 with 6, 11, low-6, and 5.
- I
