Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in a wonderful game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players don’t have to be concerned about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their mulla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick choices.
It’s also easier to wager on for a very long time with basically a little bit of cash after all, to lose, each of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given seven cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 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 is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
