Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in a fantastic game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the dealer, unlike most other poker games that players wager with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players do not need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their money.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, rookies are able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.
It is also easier to gamble on for a very long time with basically a tiny bit of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
