Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in an awesome game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about other, more advanced people winning their cash.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and plan without having to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to wager on for a very long time with only a little amount of money after all, to not win, each of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be higher 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.
