Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in a great game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, new players don’t need to worry about other, more knowledgeable players taking their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners can take their time and strategize while not having to make quick choices.
It is also simpler to bet on for an extended time with only a small amount of money seeing as, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the house gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
