Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the wild west in a wonderful game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the dealer, not like most other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players don’t need to be concerned about other, more advanced gamblers winning their mulla.

A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game pace, newcomers are able to take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty choices.

It is also simpler to participate in for an extended time with basically a small amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the croupier gets seven cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
