Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in an awesome game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about any other, more knowledgeable people taking their money.
One more Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, rookies are able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick choices.
It is also easier to play for a long time with just a small bit of cash seeing as, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
