Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced players taking their mulla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly leisurely game pace, newcomers can take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also easier to play for a long time with only a small bit of cash since, to lose, each of your hands must be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
