Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in a fantastic game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about other, more advanced individuals winning their money.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, beginners can take their time and scheme without having to make quick decisions.
It is also easier to bet on for a very long time with just a tiny bit of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the house gets 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
