Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in a wonderful game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the casino, not like almost all other poker games that players play against other players. By wagering against the dealer, new players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their money.

Another Pai Gow advantage is the fairly leisurely game pace, rookies can take their time and scheme while not needing to make quick decisions.

It is also easier to participate in for a long time with only a little amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands has to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier is dealt seven cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards dealt, the five card hand has to be better than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the houses.
