Pai Gow Plus is basically the same traditional Pai Gow Poker game with an additional Double Bonus & Plus Hand. Unlike Pai Gow Poker, there are only five player positions on Pai Gow Plus. The sixth position (next to the dealer's left side) is for the Plus Hand (Community Dragon Hand), on which all the players have the option to bet.

The Double Bonus wager is a bet that the player's best five card hand from their original seven cards will make a qualifying poker hand, regardless of how the players ser their Pai Gow Poker hand. The payoff schedule is posted at the table. The Plus Hand wager is a bet that the player's make after they set the hand and before the dealer exposes the House Hand. The dealer sets the Plus Hand and the Pai Gow hand according to the House way. "The rules of Pai Gow do not change."
