Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the western in a fantastic game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players do not have to be concerned about other, more advanced individuals winning their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to enjoy for an extended time with only a little amount of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier is given 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
