Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in a wonderful game for beginning level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers play with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players don’t need to fret about other, more skillful people taking their moolla.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game pace, newcomers can take their time and strategize while not having to make quick choices.
It’s also easier to play for an extended time with just a tiny bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the casino is dealt seven cards face down.
One five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
