Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, unlike most other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about any other, more advanced gamblers winning their mulla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, novices should be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick selections.
It is also simpler to gamble on for a very long time with only a little bit of money since, to not win, each of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the house gets seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
