Pai Gow is a poker game that puts the player against the croupier, unlike almost all other poker games that players wager with other players. By playing against the dealer, new players do not need to fret about other, more advanced people taking their $$$$.

One more Pai Gow advantage is the generally slow game pace, novices should be able to take their time and scheme while not having to make frenzied selections.

Pai Gow is played with 53 cards; the normal 52-card common deck and one joker. The gambler is dealt 7 cards faces showing and the croupier is given seven cards face down.

One five card hand and a two card hand have to be made from the 7 cards, the 5 card hand has to be stronger than the 2 card hand. To succeed, a player is required to have both of his hand totals to be larger than the dealer’s.
