Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a wonderful game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable players winning their $$$$.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also easier to gamble on for an extended time with only a little amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt seven cards face down.
A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
