Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an excellent game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more advanced gamblers taking their mulla.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and plan without having to make quick selections.
It is also much simpler to play for a very long time with only a little amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands must be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house is given 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, 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 larger than the casino’s.
