Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the western in a fantastic game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make hasty selections.
It is also much simpler to play for a very long time with basically a little amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino receives seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
