Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, not like most other poker games that players bet with other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about any other, more advanced people winning their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices can take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick choices.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for a long time with basically a small amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
