Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in a fantastic game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players don’t need to be concerned about other, more skillful gamblers taking their money.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick choices.
It is also easier to bet on for a long time with only a small amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
