Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the western in a great game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about any other, more skillful individuals winning their cash.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick choices.
It’s also much simpler to gamble on for a very long time with only a little amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt seven cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the dealer’s.
