Panguingue (pronounced pan-geen-eee), also known as Pan, is a 19th century gambling card game probably of Philippine origin similar to rummy, first described in America in 1905. It used to be particularly popular in Las Vegas and other casinos in the American southwest. Its popularity has been waning, and now is only found in a handful of casinos in California. House games and online poker sites are other places where you can find the game still played including a long-standing game in Hochman's garage, or basement in inclement weather.
The game is played using a 320-card deck, constructed from eight decks of playing cards, removing all eights, nines, tens, and Jokers, however, in some localities, the deck is constructed by the equivalent of 5 decks.
