Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the wild west in a great game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their moolla.
A further Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied selections.
It’s also easier to enjoy for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
