Double-hand Poker is a modern game with old origins. Built on the old Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the western in a fantastic game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, starting players don't have to fret about other, more knowledgeable players winning their cash.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game pace, rookies should be able to take their time and scheme without needing to make frenzied decisions.

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

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the croupier gets seven cards face down.

One 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the casino's.
