Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in a great game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the house, not like most other poker games that players play with other players. By betting against the dealer, beginning players do not have to fret about any other, more experienced people winning their cash.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, beginners should be able to take their time and plan without having to make hasty decisions.

It is also simpler to bet on for a very long time with just a small bit of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the houses.
