Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about other, more skillful people winning their mulla.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, rookies are able to take their time and scheme without having to make hasty selections.

It is also much simpler to enjoy for a very long time with only a little bit of cash since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the dealer gets 7 cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
