Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, not like nearly all other poker games that players bet with other gamblers. By wagering against the dealer, new players do not need to be concerned about other, more advanced individuals winning their $$$$.

A further Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, beginners will be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied choices.

It’s also easier to gamble on for a long time with just a tiny amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands has to be under each of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards faces showing and the dealer is given 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
