Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in a wonderful game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that players wager against other players. By gambling against the dealer, new players don’t have to worry about other, more advanced individuals taking their money.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty choices.
It is also much simpler to participate in for an extended time with only a tiny amount of cash seeing as, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer receives seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
