Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in an excellent game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the casino, unlike most other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable people winning their cash.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied decisions.
It is also simpler to participate in for a long time with only a tiny bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the house is given 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
