Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient ancestry. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American version of poker, Pai Gow poker marries the eastern with the west in a wonderful game for starting gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler against the house, not like almost all other poker games that gamblers play with other gamblers. By competing against the dealer, new players do not have to fret about any other, more skillful people taking their money.

A further Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, beginners can take their time and strategize without having to make frenzied selections.

It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with just a little amount of money seeing as, to lose, both of your hands must be lower than each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the customary 52-card standard deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino gets 7 cards faces hidden.

A five card hand and a two card hand have to be put together from the 7 cards dealt, the 5 card hand must be higher 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.
