Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the western in an awesome game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about any other, more skillful people taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also much simpler to wager on for a long time with basically a small amount of money after all, to lose, both of your hands must be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the dealer gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
