Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the east with the wild west in a wonderful game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that players play against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not need to fret about other, more experienced individuals taking their $$$$.

A further Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, novices can take their time and plan while not needing to make quick decisions.

It’s also easier to play for a long time with only a little bit of cash since, to lose, both of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is assigned 7 cards faces showing and the casino receives seven cards face down.

One five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer’s.
