Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in an excellent game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet with other players. By competing against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about any other, more experienced individuals taking their cash.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game pace, novices will be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick selections.
It is also simpler to gamble on for a long time with basically a little amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
