Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the croupier, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to fret about other, more advanced gamblers taking their moolla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, novices are able to take their time and scheme without needing to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to bet on for a long time with basically a little bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the dealer is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 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.
