Let's learn a diverse type of poker other than Texas hold'em, seven card stud, 5 card draw and Omaha Hold'em. Yes, pai gow poker. Now you should be wondering that pai-gow sounds a bit Chinese; yes you are proper this casino game is really a mix of the Chinese casino game double-hand and our very own US poker. Certainly this is not one of the most well-known types of poker but still it's widely played. It could be played by up to seven players.

It's played with one deck of fifty two cards, including a joker. Interestingly, the joker can be used only as an ace, to complete a straight, a flush, a straight flush, or a royal flush. The crucial element here to remember is apart from the usual rating of hands we have one more winning hand that is "Five Aces" (5 aces which includes the joker). Amazingly, five aces beat all other hands which includes royal flush.

Each and every player is dealt seven cards. The cards are organized to form 2 hands; a two card hand and a five card hand. The 5 card hand has to rank higher or be equal to the two card hand. Lastly each of your hands have to rank greater than each of your opponents hands (both 5 and 2 card hands). Additionally the 2 card hand can only have two combinations; 1 pair and high card.

Immediately after the cards are organized in to 2 hands, they're placed on the table face down. Once you place them down, you may not touch them. The croupier will turn over his cards and make their hands. Every single players hand is in comparison to the dealer's hands. If the player is victorious on one hand and manages to lose the other, this is identified as "push" and no money is exchanged. If croupier wins each hands then they captures the gamblers wager and the other way round. Now what if there is certainly a tie, the only benefit with the croupier here is he/she wins all ties.

Right after the hand is bet, the next individual clock-wise becomes the dealer and the subsequent hand is played. The big drawback to this casino game is that there is no skill involved and you rely too much on fortune. Also the chances are bad compared to betting with a pot.
