Double-hand Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Based on the old Chinese tile game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the west in an awesome game for early level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the house, unlike most other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, starting players do not need to be concerned about other, more knowledgeable people winning their cash.

One more Pai Gow edge is the fairly slow game pace, newcomers will be able to take their time and strategize while not needing to make frenzied choices.

It is also simpler to play for a long time with just a little bit of cash after all, to lose, both of your hands needs to be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and one joker. The gambler is assigned 7 cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand must be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand has to be higher than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be higher than the houses.
