Double-hand Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in a great game for beginner level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that players bet with other players. By playing against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about any other, more experienced players winning their cash.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally leisurely game play, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make hasty choices.

It's also easier to enjoy for an extended time with just a tiny bit of money after all, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than both of the casino's hands.

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

One five card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be larger than the casino's.
