Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the western in a wonderful game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about any other, more advanced players winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game play, beginners should be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make hasty selections.
It is also much simpler to gamble on for a very long time with just a little bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
