Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in a great game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players do not have to fret about other, more knowledgeable people taking their money.
One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty selections.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with only a little amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the casino gets 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
