Yeah, in Pai Gow you are dealt 7 cards and you make a 2 card hand and a 5 card hand. You play against the dealer and here is how the action goes.

You have to win both hands to get paid OR
Lose both hands to lose.
Win one and lose one is a Push (bet is not paid or lost).

Your 5 card hand must be higher than your two card hand. I believe that when you win the house only pays you 95% of your bet and that is how the House gets its odds.
