Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a fantastic game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that players wager against other players. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t have to worry about other, more skillful people winning their moolla.

A further Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and plan without needing to make hasty choices.

It’s also simpler to play for a long time with only a little bit of cash since, to not win, each of your hands must be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.

One five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
