Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the wild west in a fantastic game for early level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable individuals taking their cash.

One more Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game pace, novices will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make quick choices.

It’s also much simpler to enjoy for a long time with only a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.

One five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be made from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the casino’s.
