Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play against other players. By gambling against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about any other, more experienced people taking their mulla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied selections.
It is also easier to enjoy for a very long time with just a small bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the casino is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
