Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the western in a fantastic game for beginning level players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, new players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable players winning their cash.
An additional Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, beginners should be able to take their time and plan without needing to make frenzied decisions.
It is also easier to wager on for an extended time with basically a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the house receives seven cards face down.
One five card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
