Double-hand Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early 1800’s, Chinese laborers introduced the casino game while working in California.
The game’s reputation with Chinese gamblers eventually drew the attention of entrepreneurial gamblers who substituted the classic tiles with cards and shaped the game into a new kind of poker. Introduced into the poker rooms of California in ‘86, the game’s quick popularity and popularity with Asian poker gamblers drew the attention of Nevada’s betting house operators who swiftly absorbed the casino game into their own poker rooms. The popularity of the game has continued into the 21st century.
Pai-gow tables support up to six gamblers plus a croupier. Distinguishing from traditional poker, all gamblers bet on against the croupier and not against each other.
