Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the casino, not like nearly all other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to fret about any other, more skillful gamblers winning their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game play, rookies can take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied choices.

It is also much simpler to gamble on for a long time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the house is dealt 7 cards faces hidden.

One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
