Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a wonderful game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the casino, unlike most other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not need to be concerned about other, more skillful players taking their mulla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty choices.
It is also easier to play for an extended time with just a small amount of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino is dealt 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a two card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
