Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in an awesome game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about any other, more skillful people winning their $$$$.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, rookies will be able to take their time and plan while not having to make hasty decisions.
It’s also simpler to participate in for an extended time with only a small amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
