Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in an awesome game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike almost all other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to worry about any other, more advanced players taking their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, beginners can take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied decisions.
It is also easier to enjoy for a very long time with just a small bit of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
