Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the western in an excellent game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler against the dealer, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet against other players. By betting against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable players taking their cash.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game pace, newcomers can take their time and scheme without needing to make quick choices.

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

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier is dealt 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the houses.
