Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the western in a great game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the casino, not like most other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to fret about other, more knowledgeable people winning their mulla.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, rookies will be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.
It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with basically a small bit of money since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house receives seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
