Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in a great game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play with other players. By gambling against the dealer, starting players don’t need to fret about other, more knowledgeable individuals winning their mulla.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, novices can take their time and scheme without needing to make frenzied choices.
It is also simpler to gamble on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
