Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the western in a great game for early level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, unlike nearly all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, beginning players do not need to worry about any other, more advanced people taking their money.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty selections.

It’s also easier to bet on for a very long time with only a little bit of cash since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards face up and the casino is dealt 7 cards face down.

One five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
