Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in an awesome game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the house, not like nearly all other poker games that players bet against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginning players do not have to fret about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their $$$$.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game play, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied choices.
It is also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a tiny bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the casino gets seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
