Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the west in a wonderful game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t need to worry about other, more skillful people taking their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied selections.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with just a little bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer receives seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
