Pai gow dominos
1967
After a demonstration of the game, Nevada gambling regulators, for the first time, allowed pai gow — a Chinese version of dominos — to be offered in its casinos.
The clubs with pai gow, however, were required to have a bankroll of $10,000 per game on hand should a patron win big.
The New China Club and the Fan Tan, in Reno, were the pai gow trailblazers in the state.
