Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the west in a fantastic game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced players winning their moolla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make quick selections.
It’s also much simpler to wager on for a very long time with just a small amount of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the casino receives seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven 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 values to be higher than the casino’s.
