Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players do not need to fret about any other, more advanced players winning their moolla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, novices will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick decisions.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with just a small bit of cash since, to lose, each of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards face up and the casino is given seven cards face down.
One five card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
