Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in an awesome game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, not like most other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not have to fret about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, newcomers will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also much simpler to bet on for a long time with just a little bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
