Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the western in an excellent game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to fret about other, more experienced individuals taking their moolla.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make hasty choices.

It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the casino gets 7 cards face down.

One five card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
