Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the western in a fantastic game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet against other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more experienced gamblers taking their mulla.

Another Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and strategize without needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also simpler to wager on for a very long time with basically a tiny bit of cash after all, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the house receives seven cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
