Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in an awesome game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players don’t need to be concerned about other, more experienced players winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty choices.
It’s also easier to enjoy for a long time with only a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the house gets seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
