Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, not like most other poker games that gamblers play with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about any other, more advanced players taking their cash.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make quick selections.
It is also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a small bit of cash after all, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the dealer is dealt 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
