Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the west in a fantastic game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to worry about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their moolla.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, rookies can take their time and strategize without having to make hasty selections.
It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with basically a tiny amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the house gets 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
