Game Guide
Never played live casino before? This quick guide will walk you through the basics of each game in just a few minutes.
In Baccarat, you choose from three options: Banker (the most popular bet), Player, or Tie. Make your selection based on your strategy before betting time closes.
Banker and Player each receive two cards. Card values are counted — Aces are worth 1, number cards at face value, and face cards (J/Q/K) are worth 0. Only the last digit of the total counts (e.g., 9+5=14, giving a value of 4).
The side whose card total is closest to or equal to 9 wins the round. If both sides tie, it is a Tie. A winning Banker bet is subject to a 5% commission.
Baccarat Tips: The Banker bet carries the lowest house edge (1.06%). Avoid the Tie bet — despite its attractive odds, the house edge reaches 14.4%, making it a very poor value proposition over the long run.
You and the dealer each receive two cards. Your goal is to get a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer's, without going over (bust). An Ace can count as 1 or 11.
Hit (draw an additional card), Stand (keep your current hand), Double Down (double your bet and take one more card), Split (divide a pair into two separate hands), or Surrender (forfeit the hand and recover half your bet).
If you hit Blackjack (Ace + any 10-value card) with your first two cards, you win 3:2. The dealer must reveal their hole card and play until they reach at least 17.
Blackjack Tips: Blackjack has the lowest house edge of any casino game (under 0.5%) when you apply the correct basic strategy. Take the time to study a Blackjack basic strategy chart before playing with real money.
You can bet on a single number (0–36), groups of numbers, colours (red/black), odd/even, or high/low sections (1–18 or 19–36). Each bet type carries a different payout.
When betting time closes, the dealer spins the ball in the opposite direction of the wheel. Where the ball lands determines the outcome. European Roulette has a single zero slot (0); American Roulette has two (0 and 00).
A single number pays 35:1, a Split (two numbers) pays 17:1, while outside bets like red/black pay 1:1. Choose European Roulette — its house edge is 2.7% compared to 5.26% for the American version.
Roulette Tips: Start with outside bets (red/black, odd/even) to extend your session. Avoid the Martingale system — doubling your bet after every loss may seem logical but becomes extremely dangerous during a long losing streak.
Dragon Tiger is a two-card game — one card for Dragon, one for Tiger. Simply bet on which side holds the higher card, or Tie if both are equal. Perfect for players who want a fast, straightforward game.
Ace is the lowest (1) and King is the highest (13). Suits (♠♥♦♣) have no effect on the outcome. If the values are equal, it is a Tie and Dragon/Tiger bets are returned at 50%.
Dragon or Tiger wins pay 1:1 (minus 5% commission). Tie pays 8:1 but carries a house edge of 32.77% — strongly not recommended. Results are announced in under 30 seconds per round.
Dragon Tiger Tips: Follow the short result pattern and avoid the Tie bet entirely. Dragon Tiger is an extremely fast-paced game — set your bet limit and number of rounds before you start to avoid impulsive decisions.

"Been playing Baccarat at Merdeka138 for a while now — the stream is smooth and the dealers are friendly. Deposits via DuitNow hit instantly. What I love most is having tables with Malay-speaking dealers; it feels much more comfortable than other platforms where everything is in a foreign language."
"Playing live Blackjack while watching EPL at night. The stream never cut out even on regular WiFi. Withdrawals are fast too — requested at 11pm and it hit my Maybank account within 20 minutes. Been using this platform for 8 months now and haven't had any major issues."
"I used to be wary of trying online casinos because I was concerned about game fairness. But after reading about the Evolution Gaming providers and the independent audits that Merdeka138 uses, I felt much more confident. Started at the low-limit tables and have since moved up to the Gold tables. It's been a very positive experience."
