Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players wager with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about other, more experienced gamblers taking their money.
One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize without having to make hasty choices.
It’s also easier to enjoy for a long time with just a small bit of cash seeing as, to lose, both of your hands has to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the house gets 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
