Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, not like most other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to be concerned about other, more advanced players winning their moolla.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, beginners can take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also easier to wager on for a long time with only a small amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must 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.
