Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, not like most other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about other, more advanced players taking their mulla.
Another Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, beginners will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied choices.
It is also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with basically a small amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards face up and the croupier gets seven cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
