Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game pace, novices are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied decisions.
It is also simpler to participate in for a long time with only a little amount of money seeing as, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the croupier receives seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
