Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the wild west in an awesome game for beginner level gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the casino, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers bet against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about any other, more advanced people winning their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game play, novices can take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty decisions.
It is also easier to participate in for a very long time with just a little bit of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the house receives 7 cards faces hidden.
One five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
