Foul
In Pai-Gow, a hand is fouled when the two-card low hand is set higher than the five-card high hand, or when the hands are set with the wrong number of cards.
In the context of casino gambling, the term "foul" typically refers to an action or situation that violates the rules of a game. This can include various infractions, such as:
In Poker: A foul may occur if a player acts out of turn, exposes their cards prematurely, or engages in any behavior that is against the rules of the game.
In Table Games: A foul can be called if a player touches the chips after the dealer has announced "no more bets," or if a player makes an illegal move.
In Sports Betting: A foul may refer to any breach of regulations by a player or team that affects the outcome of a bet.
In general, committing a foul can lead to penalties, such as the loss of a hand, forfeit of bets, or even disqualification from the game. The specific definition and consequences of a foul can vary depending on the game being played and the house rules of the casino.
