Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the casino, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about any other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and plan without having to make hasty choices.
It is also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with only a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, each of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
