Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the west in an awesome game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play with other players. By competing against the dealer, new players don’t have to fret about other, more skillful gamblers winning their money.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game pace, newcomers can take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick choices.
It is also easier to wager on for a long time with just a tiny bit of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
