Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, not like the majority of other poker games that players wager with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced gamblers taking their money.

A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make quick decisions.

It is also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with just a little bit of cash after all, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the house is given 7 cards face down.

A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
