Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in an excellent game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about any other, more advanced individuals taking their cash.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game pace, rookies can take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also simpler to wager on for a very long time with just a tiny bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
