Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the western in an excellent game for early level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to worry about any other, more skillful people taking their mulla.
A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, beginners can take their time and plan while not needing to make frenzied choices.
It’s also much simpler to bet on for a long time with just a little bit of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
