Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in a fantastic game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about other, more experienced gamblers taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game play, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to play for a long time with just a little bit of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards face up and the house gets seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand have to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
