Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in an excellent game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players play against other players. By competing against the dealer, beginning players don’t need to be concerned about other, more skillful individuals taking their money.

One more Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, rookies will be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make quick choices.

It’s also easier to bet on for a very long time with basically a little bit of cash seeing as, to not win, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is given 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one 2 card hand need 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 totals to be better than the dealer’s.
