Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the east with the west in a wonderful game for new players.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By wagering against the dealer, beginner players do not have to be concerned about any other, more skillful gamblers taking their $$$$.
An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally slow game pace, novices are able to take their time and scheme while not having to make frenzied choices.
It is also easier to wager on for a long time with only a tiny amount of money since, to lose, each of your hands needs to be under both of the houses hands.
Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the casino gets 7 cards faces hidden.
A 5 card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the casino’s.
