Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about other, more experienced players winning their money.
One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, beginners can take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty selections.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with just a small bit of cash since, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer receives seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
