Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the western in a great game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about any other, more experienced people taking their moolla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme without needing to make quick decisions.
It’s also easier to wager on for a very long time with just a small amount of money seeing as, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the house gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
