Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their cash.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, beginners are able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make hasty decisions.

It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with only a small bit of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier is given seven cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
