Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the wild west in an awesome game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not need to fret about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their $$$$.
Another Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and scheme while not needing to make frenzied choices.
It’s also simpler to gamble on for an extended time with only a small bit of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house gets seven cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
