Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, new players do not have to fret about any other, more experienced players taking their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, newcomers can take their time and strategize without having to make quick selections.
It is also easier to gamble on for a long time with basically a little bit of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
