Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By gambling against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more advanced gamblers taking their money.
A further Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game play, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also easier to wager on for a long time with only a little amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the casino’s.
