Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the western in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the casino, not like most other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced players taking their mulla.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make hasty selections.
It’s also simpler to gamble on for a long time with only a little amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
