Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in an excellent game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more skillful people taking their money.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick choices.
It’s also simpler to enjoy for a long time with only a little bit of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards face up and the casino is given seven cards face down.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
