Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bodog:
Intelligent Bonuses
Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there's a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn't count towards earning the bonus. It's common for blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps, and Jacks or Better to be excluded. Sometimes everything except slots.
And that's if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over the site to find the rules.
But Bodog allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It's that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bodog about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they'll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you'll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens.
Finally, in the unlikely event that Bodog feels you've been abusing their bonuses they won't seize your winnings, like some other casinos. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already.

Taj Majal House Way
Last update: Oct 17, 2008
The following is the Taj Majal 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).
- B
- Split Gee Joon only when holding 6+6, 6+5, or 6+4.
- C
- Split 2's and 12's to make 6/8 or better, or other two tiles are 9 and 11.
- D
- Split 9's only with any combination of 2, 10, and 12 tiles.
- E
- Split 8's only with any combination of 2, 10, 11, or 12 tiles. Also split with 9 and 11.
- F
- Split 7's only with any combination of 2, 10, 11, or 12 tiles, including at least one 2 or 12.
- 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. There is a exception, to this exception, as follows.
With 12, 9, 8, and low-4 play 3/gong.
- Two Small Tiles Rule
Play two small tiles together, if they add to 7-9. If more than one way is possible, play the lowest hand in that range, except with both 2 and 12, play the 12 in the high hand. Following are the exceptions.
- A
- Play 2 and 12 together with 4+10, 4+11, 5+10, 5+11, 6+10, and 6+11.
- B
- Play 6-6 with 2/12, 4, 5, and 11.
- C
- Play 12 in low hand with 2, 12, and 4&5, or 4&6, or 10&11.
- Balancing Rule
Balance the two hands as much as possible. Following are the exceptions.
- A
- Play high-7 and low-9 with high-4, low-4, 5, and gee or joon.
- B
- Play high-3 and low-9 with high-4, low-4, 5, and 9.
- C
- Play the high-9 with high-4, low-4, 5, and a 6/7/low-8.
- D
- Play the high-9 with high-6, low-6, gee/joon, and 4/5.
- E
- Maximize the high with high-6, low-6, 11, and 3/4/5.
- F
- Play the 8 with high-6, low-6, 2/12, and 4/5.
- G
- Play the high-8 in the high hand with high-8, low-8, high-4, and 6/7.
- H
- Play the 4/high-5 with high-8, low-8, high-6, 7.
- I
- Maximize high hand with high-10, low-10, 11, 6/7/low-8/9.
- J
- Play high-10 in high hand with high-10, low-10, high-6, and 7/low-8/9.
- K
- Play high-10 in high hand with high-10, low-10, low-8, and 9.
- L
- Play 9 in the high hand with 3, low-6, 7, and 4/5.
- M
- Play high-8 with 11 in high hand with high-8, 11, high-10, 6/7/low-8.
- N
- Play high-8 with 11 in high hand with high-8, 11, low-10, 7/low-8.
Finally, there is an unwritten rule (until now) that the house will never play a hand where an alternative benefits both the high and the low. For example, consider the following hand.
Rule 1C would suggest the pair should be split to make 6/8. However both the high and low are improved by playing 7/teen pair.
