Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the casino, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not need to fret about other, more knowledgeable players winning their $$$$.
A further Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game play, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also simpler to bet on for an extended time with just a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the croupier is given seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
