Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in a fantastic game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that players compete against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about any other, more skillful gamblers taking their cash.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game pace, rookies can take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied selections.

It is also simpler to gamble on for a long time with only a little 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 standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier is given seven cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
