Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the dealer, not like the majority of other poker games that players play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players don’t have to be concerned about other, more advanced individuals winning their moolla.
One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, beginners are able to take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied decisions.
It’s also much simpler to bet on for a long time with just a small amount of money since, to not win, each of your hands has to be under both of the dealer’s hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
