Double-hand Poker is an American card-playing derivative of the centuries-old casino game of Chinese Dominoes. In the early nineteenth century, Chinese laborers introduced the game while working in California.

The game’s reputation with Chinese bettors eventually drew the interest of entrepreneurial gamblers who substituted the conventional tiles with cards and shaped the casino game into a new type of poker. Introduced into the poker suites of California in ‘86, the game’s quick acclaim and popularity with Asian poker gamblers drew the awareness of Nevada’s betting house owners who rapidly assimilated the game into their own poker suites. The reputation of the game has continued into the 21st century.

Double-hand tables support up to 6 gamblers plus a dealer. Distinguishing from standard poker, all players play against the croupier and not against each other.

In a counterclockwise rotation, every gambler is given 7 face down cards by the croupier. Forty-nine cards are dealt, including the dealer’s seven cards.

When all players have set their hands, the dealer will make comparisons with his or her hand position for pay outs. If a player has one palm higher in position than the dealer’s except a lower second hands, this is considered a tie.

If the dealer beats each hands, the player loses. In the case of both gambler’s hands and both dealer’s hands being identical, the croupier is victorious. In gambling establishment play, ofttimes allowances are made for a gambler to become the dealer. In this situation, the player have to have the money for any payoffs due winning gamblers. Of course, the player acting as dealer can corner several huge pots if he can beat most of the players.

A number of betting houses rule that gamblers can’t deal or bank 2 consecutive hands, and several poker rooms will provide to co-bank fifty/fifty with any player that elects to take the bank. In all cases, the dealer will ask players in turn if they want to be the banker.
