Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the wild west in a great game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable players taking their moolla.
A further Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game play, newcomers will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make hasty choices.
It’s also easier to play for a very long time with only a tiny bit of cash after all, to not win, both of your hands has to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house is dealt seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
