Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to worry about any other, more knowledgeable people taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied decisions.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a small bit of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands has to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the house is dealt seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
