Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in a great game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not have to worry about any other, more experienced players winning their mulla.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, beginners can take their time and scheme while not having to make frenzied selections.
It is also simpler to gamble on for a long time with basically a tiny bit of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
