Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker joins the far east with the western in an excellent game for beginning level players.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the house, not like most other poker games that gamblers play against other players. By gambling against the dealer, beginning players do not need to be concerned about any other, more knowledgeable players taking their money.

Another Pai Gow benefit is the fairly slow game play, beginners are able to take their time and plan without needing to make quick choices.

It is also simpler to play for an extended time with only a little amount of cash after all, to not win, each of your hands has to be under both of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and a single joker. The gambler is assigned seven cards face up and the casino is dealt 7 cards face down.

A 5 card hand and one 2 card hand have to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand must be stronger than the two card hand. To win, a player needs both of his hand values to be higher than the dealer’s.
