Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the east with the wild west in an awesome game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the croupier, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers bet with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable people winning their $$$$.

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

It is also much simpler to enjoy for a very long time with only a small amount of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands has to be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier receives 7 cards faces hidden.

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