Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in a great game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that players wager with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about other, more knowledgeable individuals taking their cash.

Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, novices will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty selections.

It’s also simpler to enjoy for an extended time with only a tiny bit of money after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer receives seven cards face down.

One five card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
