Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a fantastic game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more advanced people winning their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make quick decisions.
It’s also much simpler to participate in for an extended time with just a tiny bit of cash since, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
