Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about any other, more experienced people winning their cash.
A further Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and plan without having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also much simpler to enjoy for an extended time with only a tiny bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
