Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in an excellent game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to worry about other, more skillful people taking their mulla.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, beginners should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty selections.
It’s also much simpler to gamble on for an extended time with just a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the croupier gets seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
