In lieu of taking 5% of your winnings, CCR made one simple change to the game. When a dealer receives a Queen high Pai Gow, all player-winning hands are pushed. For Pai Gow players, these changes mean the Cannery and Eastside Cannery are the only casinos to offer No Commission, multi-property linked Progressive Pai Gow games.
