Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager against other players. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to worry about any other, more skillful gamblers taking their money.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.
It’s also easier to play for a long time with just a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives seven cards face down.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to 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 houses.
