Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in a great game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about other, more advanced players taking their cash.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty choices.

It is also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with just a little bit of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards faces hidden.

One 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
