Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the western in a wonderful game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, not like nearly all other poker games that players wager with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players don’t need to fret about any other, more experienced players taking their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme without having to make hasty selections.
It is also easier to bet on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the croupier is dealt seven cards face down.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
