Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in a great game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager with other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players do not need to worry about any other, more skillful individuals winning their cash.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make quick choices.
It is also easier to enjoy for an extended time with only a small amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
