Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their mulla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied selections.
It is also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with just a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the dealer is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
