Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the western in an excellent game for beginner level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the dealer, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete with other players. By wagering against the dealer, new players don’t need to fret about other, more advanced individuals taking their cash.

One more Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game pace, beginners can take their time and plan while not having to make hasty selections.

It’s also much simpler to bet on for a very long time with just a little bit of cash seeing as, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and one two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
