Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the casino, not like almost all other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about any other, more advanced players taking their cash.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make hasty selections.

It’s also easier to participate in for a long time with basically a tiny bit of money after all, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets 7 cards faces hidden.

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