Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in a fantastic game for early level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the house, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not have to worry about other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied choices.

It is also easier to enjoy for a long time with only a small amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands must be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the dealer gets seven cards face down.

One five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
