Double-hand Poker is a cutting-edge game with ancient ancestry. Founded on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the far east with the wild west in a great game for early level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the croupier, unlike most other poker games that players compete with other gamblers. By playing against the dealer, starting players don’t have to fret about any other, more experienced gamblers taking their mulla.

An additional Pai Gow edge is the generally leisurely game play, newcomers can take their time and plan while not needing to make hasty choices.

It is also easier to wager on for an extended time with just a small bit of money since, to lose, each of your hands must be under both of the casino’s hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card basic deck and a single joker. The player is assigned 7 cards face up and the croupier gets seven cards faces hidden.

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