Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an excellent game for beginning level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the casino, not like the majority of other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, new players do not have to fret about other, more experienced people winning their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, beginners can take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick choices.

It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned seven cards face up and the dealer gets 7 cards face down.

One 5 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 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
