Newcomer Strategy for Pai Gow Poker

Pai Gow Poker is a current game with ancient origins. Built on the ancient Chinese domino game and the modern American adaptation of poker, Pai Gow poker combines the far east with the wild west in an awesome game for beginner level gamblers.

Pai Gow is a poker game that pits the gambler versus the house, not like almost all other poker games that players compete against other gamblers. By gambling against the dealer, starting players do not need to fret about other, more experienced individuals taking their cash.

One more Pai Gow benefit is the generally slow game pace, newcomers should be able to take their time and strategize while not having to make frenzied decisions.

It is also easier to gamble on for an extended time with only a small amount of cash seeing as, to not win, each of your hands has to be under each of the houses hands.

Pai Gow uses 53 cards; the normal 52-card standard deck and a single joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the casino is given 7 cards face down.

A five card hand and one two card hand need to be put together from the seven cards, the five card hand has to be stronger than the two card hand. To succeed, a player needs both of his hand totals to be better than the dealer’s.
