Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the western in an excellent game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about other, more skillful people winning their money.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, novices will be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make frenzied choices.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a small bit of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets seven cards face down.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the dealer’s.
