Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the western in a fantastic game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the house, unlike most other poker games that players bet with other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t need to worry about any other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied selections.
It is also easier to wager on for an extended time with basically a tiny bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the casino gets 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
