Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with old origins. Founded on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in a wonderful game for beginner level gamblers.

A 5 card hand and a 2 card hand need to be made from the 7 cards dealt, the five card hand must be stronger than the 2 card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
