Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a fantastic game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that players bet with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players do not need to fret about other, more advanced players winning their money.

A further Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make hasty choices.

It is also much simpler to play for a long time with basically a tiny bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the house is dealt seven cards face down.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
