Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the wild west in an excellent game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike most other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By gambling against the dealer, new players do not have to worry about other, more advanced gamblers winning their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, novices are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty selections.
It is also much simpler to play for a very long time with basically a small amount of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the casino gets seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
