Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in a great game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the croupier, not like most other poker games that players play with other players. By gambling against the dealer, starting players do not have to fret about any other, more experienced people winning their cash.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize without having to make hasty choices.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a little amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
