Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a wonderful game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their moolla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, novices will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make quick choices.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a small amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the house is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
