Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the west in a great game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced people winning their cash.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, novices should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make frenzied choices.
It’s also easier to bet on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
