Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a great game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the dealer, not like most other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to fret about other, more experienced people winning their money.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game pace, novices should be able to take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied selections.
It’s also simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a tiny amount of cash since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
