Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, not like most other poker games that gamblers wager with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about other, more skillful gamblers taking their cash.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make quick decisions.
It is also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with just a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the casino receives seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
