Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in a fantastic game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about any other, more skillful individuals taking their money.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also much simpler to play for an extended time with basically a small amount of cash since, to not win, each of your hands must be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
