Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet with other players. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their moolla.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied choices.
It is also easier to enjoy for a very long time with basically a tiny bit of money after all, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the dealer gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
