Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in a great game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the house, not like nearly all other poker games that players wager with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their $$$$.

One more Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game play, novices will be able to take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also easier to bet on for an extended time with basically a tiny amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the dealer receives seven cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
