Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the wild west in a fantastic game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players don’t need to fret about other, more experienced individuals taking their cash.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also simpler to play for an extended time with basically a tiny bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
