Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the wild west in an awesome game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players bet against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginning players do not need to worry about other, more skillful players winning their $$$$.
A further Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with basically a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the casino receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
