Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a great game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, not like most other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to worry about any other, more skillful individuals winning their moolla.

Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also simpler to gamble on for an extended time with basically a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
