Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the western in a great game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about other, more advanced players taking their cash.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to play for a long time with basically a small amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives seven cards face down.
A five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
