Pai Gow Poker is a modern game with ancient ancestry. Based on the ancient Chinese tile game and the current American variation of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a great game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the player versus the dealer, unlike almost all other poker games that players play with other players. By competing against the dealer, beginning players don't have to fret about other, more knowledgeable people taking their cash.

Another Pai Gow edge is the relatively leisurely game pace, beginners will be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make frenzied decisions.

It is also simpler to play for a very long time with just a tiny bit of cash after all, to lose, each of your hands must be under both of the dealer's hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the regular 52-card common deck and one joker. The player is given 7 cards face up and the dealer is given 7 cards faces hidden.

One five card hand and a two card hand have to be made from the 7 cards, the five card hand must be better than the two card hand. To win, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be higher than the dealer's.
