Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about other, more experienced people taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, novices should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied selections.
It’s also simpler to bet on for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the house receives 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
