Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the wild west in a great game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler versus the house, unlike nearly all other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, beginner players do not need to worry about other, more knowledgeable people taking their money.

Another Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, novices can take their time and plan while not needing to make frenzied selections.

It’s also much simpler to participate in for an extended time with only a little amount of cash since, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than each of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the house is dealt seven cards face down.

A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the houses.
