Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the eastern with the west in a great game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the house, not like most other poker games that players compete with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their moolla.
Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make frenzied selections.
It’s also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with only a small bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be under both of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the house receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One 5 card hand and a two 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 totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
