Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a fantastic game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, not like most other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable individuals taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game play, beginners can take their time and plan while not having to make hasty selections.
It’s also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with just a small bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
