Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players do not have to fret about other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to play for a very long time with just a little amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the croupier is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
