Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, unlike the majority of other poker games that players wager against other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable individuals taking their cash.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick choices.
It is also simpler to gamble on for a long time with just a little bit of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
