Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike the majority of other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players do not have to be concerned about any other, more experienced gamblers winning their moolla.

One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game play, beginners should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make quick decisions.

It is also simpler to play for an extended time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to lose, each of your hands must be lower than both of the dealer’s hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the casino is given 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
