Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to fret about other, more experienced players winning their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners can take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with just a little amount of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer receives seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
