Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the current American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the wild west in an excellent game for new players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the gambler vs. the casino, unlike almost all other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to fret about any other, more experienced gamblers winning their money.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the relatively leisurely game play, novices can take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied decisions.

It’s also much simpler to bet on for an extended time with only a tiny bit of money after all, to not win, both of your hands needs to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is given seven cards face up and the dealer receives seven cards face down.

A five card hand and a 2 card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the 5 card hand has to be better than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
