Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the west in an awesome game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that players play with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about any other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, newcomers can take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also much simpler to gamble on for a long time with only a tiny bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the croupier is given 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
