Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in an excellent game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, not like most other poker games that players bet against other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to worry about any other, more skillful individuals winning their mulla.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make frenzied selections.
It is also easier to bet on for a very long time with basically a small amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
