Which Asian Games Can You Play in the Live Casino?

The live casino offers a growing group of Asian games. This page covers the main ones: Sic Bo, Dragon Tiger, Andar Bahar, Xoc Dia, Teen Patti, Fan Tan, Matka, and Bull Bull. They come from across Asia, from China and India to Cambodia and Vietnam. They are played in different ways: with dice, cards, coins, beads, or numbered balls.

We group these games together for one reason: their shared background. Each game has its own rules, its own pace, and its own payouts. A quick dice game like Sic Bo plays very differently from a card game like Teen Patti. What they do share is the setting. The tables are dealt from studios with an Asian theme, in gold and red tones, with symbols of luck and fortune.

The live casino did more than move these games online. It added new versions on top of the classics. Some live versions keep the original game as it is, for players who want the traditional table. Others add extras such as multipliers or side bets, and turn the game into several new versions. Below we go through each game in turn. We explain how it works in short, and we name the live versions you can play.

Sic Bo

Sic Bo is an ancient Chinese dice game. You bet on the outcome of three dice, from even-money bets like Small or Big to a specific triple with a much higher payout. The more unlikely the result, the higher the return.

Several providers offer their own version of Sic Bo. The most played variant is Super Sic Bo by Evolution. This is the classic game with added random multipliers. After bets are placed, random betting spots receive an extra multiplier of up to 1,000x. This raises the win you can land on those spots and adds tension to every round. Other versions use different multipliers. This changes how the game plays. Higher multipliers give you a bigger chance at a large win. But that win has to come from somewhere. To pay for it, the table lowers the normal payouts a little. So you win smaller amounts more often, in return for the rare big one. Which one suits you depends on whether you play for the big win or prefer a steadier game.

Dragon Tiger

Dragon Tiger is a fast card game from Cambodia, based on baccarat. It could not be simpler. One card goes to the Dragon, one card goes to the Tiger, and the higher card wins. You bet on which side you think will win. Both pay even money. If you want a bigger win, you can bet on a tie. A tie pays much more, because it happens less often. At times I really enjoy how simple this game is. You do not have to concentrate hard, and the rounds are quick.

Some live versions use the exact rules of classic Dragon Tiger. An example is Dragon Tiger by Evolution. Others add a twist. Dragon Tiger Phoenix, for example, deals a third hand. You then bet on which of the three hands, Dragon, Tiger, or Phoenix, gets the highest card. Other versions add features of their own, such as multipliers.

“What I like about Dragon Tiger Phoenix is that all three main bets pay 1.8:1, a bit more than the even money you get in the classic game. The tie also lands more often, because there are three hands instead of two.

This makes the game feel more balanced to me, and I am more willing to bet on the tie here than in standard Dragon Tiger.”

Andar Bahar

Andar Bahar is a simple card game from India. The dealer places one card in the middle, the joker. Then cards are dealt one by one to two sides, Andar and Bahar. You bet on which side will get a card that matches the value of the joker first. That is the whole game, so rounds are quick and easy to follow. The dealer always starts with Andar, so that side has a slightly higher chance to win. To balance this, Andar pays 0.9:1 and Bahar pays 1:1.

Andar Bahar also has a side bet built into the classic game. With this side bet, you predict how many cards it will take before a side wins. You bet on a range of five cards, such as 1 to 5, 6 to 10, or 11 to 15, and so on. The longer it takes to reach a match, the more the range pays.

Some live versions keep these classic rules, such as Andar Bahar by Ezugi. Others add a twist. One example is Super Andar Bahar by Evolution. This is the same game, with the same side bet, but now a range can get a random multiplier of up to 4,000x after bets are placed. For me, this is just enough to keep the game interesting for a longer session. Other players may want more going on. If you like more variety in a single game, a live game show may suit you better, as these often add bonus rounds and extra ways to win.

Xoc Dia

Xoc Dia is a traditional game from Vietnam. It is played with four tokens, each with a red side and a white side. The dealer puts the tokens in a bowl, covers it, and shakes it. You bet on how they will land before the bowl is lifted. You can bet on how many come up red or white, or on an even or odd split. Then the bowl comes off and you see the result at once. Just like the games above, this one is easy to follow. By now you may see a pattern: many of the classic Asian games are simple at heart, with one quick bet and a fast result.

Ezugi offers both sides of this game. There is a live version with the classic rules, called Xoc Dia. There is also a version with multipliers, called Ultimate Flip. In Ultimate Flip, a result can get a random multiplier of up to 50x after you place your bet. This raises the top win while the game stays just as simple to play.

Teen Patti

Teen Patti is a card game from India, often called the Indian version of three-card poker. You and the dealer each get three cards, and the best three-card hand wins. You place an ante bet first, then look at your cards and choose to play on or fold. Rounds are quick, and the rules will feel familiar if you know poker.

Here too, there are live versions that keep the classic gameplay and versions that add a twist. A classic version that is played a lot is Teen Patti by Evolution. This one follows the standard rules, but adds two side bets on top. The first is Pair Plus, which pays when your three cards make a pair or better, no matter what the dealer has. The second is the 6 Card Bonus, which combines your three cards with the dealer’s three to make the best five-card poker hand.

There are also Teen Patti games with a twist. One example is One Day Teen Patti by Ezugi. Here you do not play against the dealer. Instead, you bet on which of two hands will win, Player A or Player B, and the odds change with every card that is dealt. You can back a hand to win or lay it to lose, and adjust your bet as the round goes on. This plays more like in-play sports betting than a classic card game.

Fan Tan, Matka and Bull

Not every Asian game grew into several versions. Some came to the live casino as a single classic table, without a separate variant that adds multipliers or extra features. Fan Tan, Matka, and Bull Bull are three of these.

Fan Tan is an ancient Chinese game played with beads. Evolution created the live casino version, Fan Tan Live. The dealer takes a pile of beads and removes them in groups of four, until one, two, three, or four beads are left. You bet on how many will remain at the end. Because the dealer starts with a large pile, the tension builds slowly towards the result. Some players enjoy that build-up. For me, it is a little too slow. Evolution offers the live version.

Matka is a number game from India. Ezugi offers the live version, Matka Live. The dealer draws numbered balls from a pot, scooping them out with a golden ladle. You bet on which numbers will come up. It is easy to follow, though the payouts are lower than in most of the other games here. The theme and the golden ladle give it a strong traditional feel, which is what most players seem to come for. Ezugi offers the live version.

Bull Bull is a card game from China, also played in Vietnam and Taiwan. Each side is dealt five cards, which are split into groups to form combinations that add up to a multiple of ten. The best hand is called Bull Bull, and you bet on which side will have the stronger hand. Of the three games here, this is my favourite, because the scoring is the most interesting to follow. It is offered by AllBet Gaming, an Asian provider, so it is found at fewer casinos than the games above.

How We Review These Games

We test every Asian game ourselves and then score it with the same fixed framework we use across the site. That way you can compare any two scores on the site directly. No game gets an easier or stricter review, so a higher score always means a better result against the same points.

Take a few of those points as an example: the dealers, the live studio, and the pace and depth. The dealers and the studio matter a lot for Asian games, because a lot of players come for the mood as much as for the game itself. The studios are built around an Asian theme, with their own colours, music, and props, such as the bowl in Xoc Dia or the golden ladle in Matka. We watch each game at different times of day. We score whether the dealer keeps the round clear and steady, and whether the studio adds to the mood or just sits in the background. Pace and depth is another point in the framework, and it matters here because Asian games are simple at heart. A simple game can still be a good one, but only if it stays fun over a longer session. So we play each game long enough to feel whether the speed is right, and whether the same short round stays interesting or starts to feel flat after a while.
