Double-Hand Poker

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

The game’s reputation with Chinese gamblers eventually attracted the interest of entrepreneurial gamblers who substituted the classic tiles with cards and modeled the game into a new form of poker. Introduced into the poker suites of California in 1986, the game’s immediate acclaim and popularity with Asian poker players drew the attention of Nevada’s gambling establishment owners who quickly absorbed the casino game into their own poker rooms.
