Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a fantastic game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the casino, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not need to fret about any other, more skillful individuals winning their money.
Another Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game play, novices are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make quick selections.
It is also easier to gamble on for a long time with just a little bit of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the casino is dealt seven cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
