Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the western in a fantastic game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the casino, not like almost all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players don’t have to worry about other, more knowledgeable players winning their money.
Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, novices can take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied selections.
It’s also easier to participate in for a very long time with only a small amount of money after all, to lose, both of your hands needs to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards face up and the house receives seven cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
