Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that players bet against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not have to worry about other, more skillful individuals winning their $$$$.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme while not having to make quick choices.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a little amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
