Double-hand Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old casino game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early nineteenth century, Chinese laborers introduced the casino game while working in California.
The game’s reputation with Chinese gamblers ultimately attracted the attention of entrepreneurial gamblers who replaced the conventional tiles with cards and shaped the casino game into a new type of poker. Introduced into the poker rooms of California in 1986, the game’s quick acclaim and popularity with Asian poker players drew the interest of Nevada’s betting house owners who rapidly absorbed the casino game into their own poker suites. The reputation of the casino game has continued into the twenty-first century.
