Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in a great game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about any other, more knowledgeable players taking their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make frenzied selections.
It is also simpler to participate in for a very long time with just a tiny amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands has to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
