Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in an excellent game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that players play against other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their moolla.
One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, newcomers can take their time and strategize while not needing to make hasty selections.
It is also easier to bet on for a very long time with only a little amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the croupier receives seven cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
