Double-hand Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a great game for beginning level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By betting against the dealer, starting players don’t need to be concerned about any other, more experienced players winning their mulla.

A further Pai Gow edge is the fairly leisurely game play, novices are able to take their time and plan while not having to make hasty choices.

It is also much simpler to enjoy for a very long time with only a tiny amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards face down.

A 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
