Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the house, unlike almost all other poker games that players play against other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their moolla.
Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.
It is also much simpler to participate in for an extended time with only a small amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
