Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in an awesome game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By competing against the dealer, new players don’t need to fret about any other, more knowledgeable players taking their money.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also easier to gamble on for an extended time with only a tiny amount of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
