Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in an awesome game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the casino, unlike most other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to worry about any other, more skillful players taking their cash.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game pace, beginners can take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty selections.
It’s also much simpler to gamble on for an extended time with only a little amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the croupier is dealt seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the dealer’s.
