Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in an awesome game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that players compete against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about any other, more advanced players taking their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game play, beginners can take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also simpler to play for a very long time with only a little bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
