Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in an excellent game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, not like the majority of other poker games that players play against other players. By playing against the dealer, beginning players do not have to fret about other, more experienced people taking their moolla.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make frenzied choices.

It is also easier to participate in for a long time with just a tiny bit of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the house is dealt 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
