Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t have to fret about other, more advanced players winning their $$$$.
A further Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, beginners are able to take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also much simpler to gamble on for a very long time with just a tiny bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards faces showing and the house is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
