Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with old origins. Based on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the east with the wild west in an excellent game for new gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player against the croupier, not like the majority of other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, new players don't have to fret about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their cash.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the relatively slow game play, rookies are able to take their time and scheme without needing to make hasty decisions.

It's also simpler to play for a very long time with just a small amount of money seeing as, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino's hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The player is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the croupier receives seven cards face down.

A five card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be better than the casino's.
