Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in a fantastic game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their money.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game play, beginners should be able to take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied choices.

It is also simpler to enjoy for a very long time with just a little amount of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the casino is given 7 cards faces hidden.

One 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
