Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in a fantastic game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that players play with other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more advanced people taking their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the relatively slow game play, novices are able to take their time and strategize without needing to make quick selections.

It is also simpler to bet on for an extended time with just a small bit of cash seeing as, to lose, both of your hands must be under each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the dealer gets 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
