Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in a fantastic game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers bet against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more experienced people taking their money.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also much simpler to play for a very long time with just a tiny amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is dealt seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
