Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the west in a wonderful game for early level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers compete with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more advanced individuals winning their cash.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the relatively slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and strategize while not having to make quick choices.

It is also much simpler to wager on for a very long time with only a small bit of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the dealer's hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is assigned seven cards faces showing and the casino gets seven cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer's.
