I understand your perspective, but chinese poker is a popular gambling game, and so is blackjack for that matter, so not everybody has the same taste in games as you do :-) The obvious way of bolting gambling onto this game is to simply have an even money bet on every deal. Note that the cards are initially dealt out face up, which makes the whole game really just be one round as in chinese poker.
- mattmaroon 17y agoI wasn't speaking from the perspective of what I like. I don't like a lot of games that are popular. Chinese poker isn't very popular really, you'd be hard pressed to find a casino that spreads it. I played it a decent amount when I was playing poker for a living, but it was more like 4 guys just found an open table and played. Blackjack's easy because the dealer can play like an automaton, and the game moves really, really fast. If your game could have a dealer algorithm (like Pai Gow) you might be able to sell it as a table game. Breaking into that is extremely hard though.
