Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the western in an excellent game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the dealer, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about any other, more knowledgeable people winning their moolla.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, newcomers are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a long time with only a small amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
