Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the croupier, unlike most other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By playing against the dealer, beginner players do not have to fret about other, more knowledgeable people taking their mulla.
One more Pai Gow benefit is the generally leisurely game play, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make hasty choices.
It is also easier to play for a very long time with basically a little amount of money seeing as, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is given seven cards face up and the croupier gets 7 cards face down.
One five card hand and a two card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be better than the dealer’s.
