Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old ancestry. Founded on the old Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the west in an awesome game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers compete against other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players don't have to worry about other, more advanced gamblers taking their $$$$.

An additional Pai Gow benefit is the fairly leisurely game pace, beginners can take their time and scheme without having to make quick decisions.

It's also much simpler to wager on for a very long time with basically a small amount of money since, to lose, both of your hands has to be lower than each of the casino's hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt seven cards faces showing and the house is given 7 cards face down.

One 5 card hand and one two card hand have to be made from the seven cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be better than the houses.
