Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the western in a great game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced players taking their mulla.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, rookies can take their time and plan while not having to make hasty choices.
It is also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with only a little bit of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
