Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in an awesome game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete against other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their mulla.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game play, rookies can take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied selections.
It is also easier to gamble on for a very long time with only a little bit of money since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the croupier gets seven cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
