Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the eastern with the wild west in a wonderful game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the dealer, not like most other poker games that players compete with other players. By playing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable players winning their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also much simpler to participate in for a very long time with only a small amount of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards face up and the dealer receives 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the casino’s.
