Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the western in an awesome game for beginning level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the casino, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, starting players do not have to worry about other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their moolla.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game play, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied choices.

It’s also simpler to play for an extended time with basically a small amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the house receives seven cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
