Pai Gow Poker is a current game with old ancestry. Built on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in a great game for beginner level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the dealer, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers compete against other players. By competing against the dealer, new players do not need to worry about other, more experienced players taking their cash.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game play, rookies can take their time and plan without having to make frenzied decisions.

It's also simpler to play for a very long time with just a tiny amount of money after all, to not win, both of your hands has to be lower than both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card standard deck and one joker. The player is assigned seven cards face up and the croupier receives seven cards face down.

A 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 is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer's.
