Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the west in a great game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers bet against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players do not have to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable people winning their cash.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick choices.
It is also easier to participate in for a very long time with only a small amount of cash since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the casino receives 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
