The OKGAMES live casino streams professional dealers from studios to your screen. You place chips on a digital table while the real cards, wheel or dice decide the result. Baccarat is by far the most popular game with Filipino and Malaysian players, so we start there. New to OKGAMES? Read the beginner guide first.
Baccarat
In baccarat you bet on whether the Player or Banker hand will finish closer to 9, or on a Tie. You make no decisions after betting, because the drawing rules are fixed.
- Banker: the lowest house edge (about 1.06%), but most tables take a 5% commission on Banker wins.
- Player: about 1.24% house edge, with no commission.
- Tie: pays 8:1 but carries a house edge above 14%. Avoid it.
Scoreboards ("roads") show past results, but they do not predict the future. Each hand is independent.
Roulette
Look for European single-zero roulette (2.7% house edge) instead of American double-zero (5.26%). Outside bets like red/black win more often but pay less. Straight-up numbers pay 35:1 but rarely hit.
Sic Bo and Dragon Tiger
Sic Bo is a three-dice game with roots in China. Big/Small bets have the lowest edge (about 2.8%), while exotic triple bets are far worse. Dragon Tiger is a one-card-each version of baccarat. It is very fast, so it can eat a budget quickly, and the Tie bet again carries a big edge.

Live casino etiquette and tips
- Use stable Wi-Fi. A dropped connection mid-round is settled by the table, not by you.
- Keep chat friendly. Dealers and other players are real people.
- Decide your bet size before the round timer starts. Rushed bets are bigger bets.
- Live games often contribute only a little (or nothing) to bonus wagering. Check our bonus guide.
Why betting systems don't beat the house
Martingale (doubling after a loss) feels safe until a losing streak meets the table limit or your budget. No progression changes the house edge. Set a session budget, stick to low-edge bets, and stop when you planned to. Our responsible gaming page has more on this. Prefer solo play? Compare with OKGAMES slots.
