Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a fantastic game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the house, not like almost all other poker games that players bet against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about other, more experienced gamblers taking their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, novices can take their time and plan without having to make frenzied choices.
It is also much simpler to bet on for a very long time with basically a tiny amount of cash since, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer receives 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and one two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
