Newcomer Schemes for Pai Gow Poker
Double-hand Poker is a current game with old origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the wild west in an excellent game for new gamblers.
Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler vs. the casino, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers wager with other players. By playing against the dealer, beginner players don’t need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable gamblers winning their money.
A further Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize without needing to make frenzied selections.
It is also simpler to play for a very long time with only a little bit of money seeing as, to lose, each of your hands must be under each of the houses hands.
Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards face up and the casino receives 7 cards face down.
One 5 card hand and a two card hand need to be made from the seven cards, the 5 card hand must be higher than the two card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
