Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the wild west in a fantastic game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike most other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more experienced gamblers taking their moolla.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and scheme without having to make hasty decisions.
It is also much simpler to participate in for a long time with just a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, both of your hands must be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the dealer is given seven cards face down.
One five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino’s.
