Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a wonderful game for beginner level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to worry about other, more experienced players winning their mulla.
Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and scheme while not needing to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also easier to wager on for an extended time with just a small bit of money after all, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house receives 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
