Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a fantastic game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike the majority of other poker games that players wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not have to fret about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their moolla.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick decisions.
It’s also easier to gamble on for a very long time with just a small amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the croupier is given 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
