Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not have to fret about other, more knowledgeable players winning their mulla.
A further Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, novices are able to take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty choices.
It is also much simpler to play for a long time with just a tiny bit of cash after all, to lose, both of your hands must be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
