Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By playing against the dealer, beginner players do not have to be concerned about any other, more experienced people winning their $$$$.
One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, novices will be able to take their time and strategize without having to make quick choices.
It’s also much simpler to bet on for a very long time with just a tiny bit of money since, 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 customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets seven cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
