Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the wild west in a fantastic game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players compete with other players. By betting against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and plan while not needing to make frenzied choices.
It’s also simpler to bet on for a long time with only a little bit of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier is dealt 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, 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 totals to be better than the dealer’s.
