Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in a fantastic game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not have to worry about other, more advanced people taking their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme while not having to make hasty decisions.
It is also much simpler to enjoy for a very long time with only a little bit of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
