Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in an awesome game for early level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players don’t need to fret about any other, more skillful players taking their cash.
A further Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, rookies can take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied selections.
It is also much simpler to gamble on for an extended time with only a small bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
