Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their money.
Another Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, newcomers will be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.
It is also much simpler to enjoy for an extended time with only a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven 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 values to be better than the houses.
