Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in an awesome game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the house, unlike most other poker games that players bet with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players don’t have to fret about any other, more advanced players taking their money.
Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, novices should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make quick choices.
It is also easier to participate in for an extended time with only a small bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the house gets seven cards face down.
A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
