Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the eastern with the wild west in a great game for beginner level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers wager against other players. By wagering against the dealer, starting players don't have to be concerned about any other, more advanced players winning their money.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game play, rookies are able to take their time and plan while not having to make frenzied decisions.

It is also simpler to participate in for an extended time with just a little amount of money since, to not win, both of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards face down.

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