Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to fret about other, more advanced players winning their moolla.
One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty decisions.
It’s also simpler to gamble on for a very long time with only a small bit of cash after all, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the house is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
