Novice Tactics for Pai Gow Poker


Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in an excellent game for beginning level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the croupier, not like almost all other poker games that players bet against other players. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their cash.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the relatively leisurely game pace, novices will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make frenzied selections.

It is also easier to gamble on for a very long time with only a little amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
