Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in an awesome game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players don’t have to fret about any other, more experienced individuals winning their money.
One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied choices.
It’s also simpler to participate in for a long time with only a little bit of money since, to not win, each of your hands must be lower than both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
