Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in a great game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don’t have to fret about any other, more skillful individuals winning their cash.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and plan without having to make frenzied selections.

It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with just a little amount of cash after all, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the dealer is dealt 7 cards face down.

One five card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
