Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for beginning level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, new players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced individuals winning their moolla.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game play, newcomers will be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.

It is also much simpler to wager on for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the croupier is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
