Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the western in an awesome game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players do not need to worry about any other, more knowledgeable gamblers taking their mulla.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly leisurely game pace, rookies are able to take their time and plan without having to make frenzied selections.

It is also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with only a tiny bit of money after all, to lose, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the casino is given 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
