Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a wonderful game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that players wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about any other, more advanced people winning their cash.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, beginners will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make quick selections.
It is also simpler to play for a very long time with basically a small bit of money since, to lose, each of your hands has to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards face up and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
