Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in an awesome game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to worry about other, more experienced players winning their $$$$.

Another Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, rookies should be able to take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty decisions.

It’s also simpler to wager on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the house receives seven cards face down.

One five card hand and one two card hand must be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
