Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in an excellent game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, not like most other poker games that gamblers bet against other players. By betting against the dealer, new players don’t have to fret about other, more advanced gamblers taking their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the fairly leisurely game play, beginners can take their time and plan without needing to make quick choices.
It’s also easier to bet on for a long time with only a little amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the casino is given seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
