Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in a great game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to worry about other, more experienced individuals taking their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick decisions.

It is also easier to play for a very long time with only a little amount of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
