Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in a great game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers bet against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their cash.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, novices can take their time and strategize while not having to make quick selections.
It’s also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with only a small amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands must be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
