Pai Gow Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American version of poker, Pai Gow poker bands together the far east with the western in a great game for starting players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player vs. the croupier, unlike most other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By betting against the dealer, starting players do not have to be concerned about any other, more skillful gamblers taking their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow advantage is the fairly slow game play, newcomers are able to take their time and scheme without having to make frenzied choices.

It’s also easier to gamble on for a long time with only a small amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands needs to be lower than both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the familiar 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is given 7 cards faces showing and the croupier gets seven cards face down.

A five card hand and one two card hand must be made from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand values to be larger than the dealer’s.
