Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version 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 versus the dealer, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more experienced players winning their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also simpler to bet on for a very long time with basically a tiny bit of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino is dealt seven cards face down.
A five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
