Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to worry about any other, more knowledgeable individuals taking their cash.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, novices will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied choices.
It is also easier to wager on for a long time with only a tiny bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands must be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the croupier is dealt 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
