Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the wild west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the dealer, unlike most other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about other, more skillful gamblers winning their cash.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied selections.
It is also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a tiny amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer receives seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
