So my local casino runs pai gow a bit different than tradition. There is no commision but evey hand has a $.50 rake. The bonuses on the game are 1) if you have trips of the month (ie feb is trip 2's march would be trip 3's) you get a hundred dollar chip and 2) if you have a full house aaaqq or better in your bottom hand and get beat you get $1250 and every one else at the table splits an additional $1250. So my question is what is advantage on that? It seems to be in the players advantage with the bad beat and trips bonus. If I'm right on that what is the net advantage for players. The bonuses are free to play not an additional bet btw! Any help you all can give is very much appreciated!!!

This question is kinda in the wrong forum. Try checking out the probability forum or other gambling games. The best advice would be to ask the the wizard at http://wizardofodds.com/. Thats the place to go for house/player advantages on all casino games.
