Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the western in a wonderful game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the casino, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about other, more experienced individuals winning their $$$$.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices are able to take their time and plan while not having to make quick decisions.
It’s also simpler to wager on for a very long time with only a tiny amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the house is dealt seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the dealer’s.
