Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in an excellent game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable players taking their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the casino is dealt seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
