Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the wild west in a great game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player versus the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers bet with other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players do not have to worry about any other, more experienced players taking their cash.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, beginners can take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied choices.

It is also simpler to play for a very long time with only a tiny bit of money since, to not win, both of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the house receives seven cards face down.

A 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the casino’s.
