Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the western in an awesome game for starting players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, unlike most other poker games that players play against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to fret about other, more advanced people taking their cash.
A further Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game play, novices should be able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick choices.
It is also much simpler to gamble on for an extended time with only a little bit of cash since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards face up and the house gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A five card hand and a 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
