What Are Table Games and Who Are They For?
Table games include baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and poker — all played with cards or table equipment in front of a live dealer or automated system. Unlike slots, they involve an element of decision-making and strategy that influences the outcome.
If you enjoy thinking through every move or want a more interactive casino atmosphere, table games are right up your alley.
New players can start with baccarat since the rules are simple — just choose between Player, Banker, or Tie. For those with more experience, blackjack and poker offer greater room for personal strategy.
185 offers a wide selection of tables with varying bet limits so you can play within your own budget and comfort level.
Don't Miss the Entry Point That Many Players Have Already Taken
Many new players don't realise they need to log in before joining a live table. This is because every live table session is tied directly to your account balance. Make sure you've already made a deposit via TNG eWallet, FPX, or Maybank before selecting a table.
If this is your first time, head to the Register to create an account in under 3 minutes. Once logged in, navigate to the Table Games section from the main menu and choose the game you want.

Five Most-Played Games
Table games at 185 cover a wide range of options to suit different playing styles. Each game has its own rules, varying return rates, and a unique level of strategy involved. Here's a quick overview to help you find the right place to start.
The most popular card game in Southeast Asia. Pick Player or Banker and see who gets closest to 9. Perfect for players who want fast results and plenty of tension.
Beat the dealer by getting as close to 21 as possible without going over. There's room for basic strategy that can significantly reduce the house edge.
Place your bet on a number, colour, or group of numbers and wait for the ball to land. The European version with a single zero gives players better odds.
Build the best hand from your cards and outplay your opponents. It takes more strategy and reading other players, but the rewards are greater once you've mastered it.
A dice game rooted in Asian tradition. Predict the outcome of three dice with a variety of betting options — combination, tie, or specific values — for higher rewards.
Understand the Odds Before Placing Your First Bet
Each table game has its own return-to-player (RTP) rate and house edge. Understanding these figures helps you make smarter decisions — rather than relying purely on luck.
A simple example: in baccarat, if you bet RM100 on the Banker and win, you receive RM95 in winnings (after the 5% commission deduction). In blackjack, landing a natural blackjack typically pays 3:2, meaning a RM100 bet returns RM150 in winnings.
| Game Types | Estimated RTP | House Edge | Best Suited For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Baccarat (Banker) | 98.94% | 1.06% | Players who prefer fast results |
| Blackjack (Basic Strategy) | 99.5% | 0.5% | Players who enjoy strategy |
| European Roulette | 97.3% | 2.7% | Players who enjoy betting variety |
| Sic Bo (Small/Big) | 97.22% | 2.78% | Players who enjoy dice games |
The RTP figures above are general estimates based on standard rules. Actual values depend on the game provider and variant used on the platform.
How Malaysian Players Typically Play
On a work trip in KL
Many players open the 185 app or website during lunch breaks or while riding the LRT. They jump straight into live baccarat, place a few quick bets, then get back to work. Our live tables run around the clock, so there are no time restrictions.
A weekend with friends in Penang
Friend groups gathered at home often turn to online table games as a shared entertainment activity. Everyone logs in with their own account and plays at the same table — a full casino experience without leaving the house.
New player from Johor Bahru
New players from JB often start at low-limit blackjack tables from as little as RM 5 per hand to learn basic strategy without taking on much risk. 185 offers tables across a range of limits to suit all levels of play.
Deposit via local banks
Most Malaysian players use FPX, Maybank2u, or CIMB Clicks to top up their account before playing. The process typically completes in under two minutes, with the balance credited to your account immediately and ready to use at your preferred table.
What You Need to Know Before You Sit Down
Unverified accounts may not be able to process withdrawals. Complete your profile after registering to avoid issues down the line.
Each table has its own minimum and maximum limits. Choose one that fits your budget so you can play longer.
Live tables require a stable connection. Use WiFi or 4G/5G data for a smooth experience, especially during critical rounds.
Take 5 minutes to read the rules before betting with real money. A basic understanding can save you from costly mistakes — especially in blackjack.
Decide how much you're comfortable spending before you start playing. It helps you enjoy the game without unnecessary financial stress.
Make sure your preferred payment method — whether TNG, FPX, Maybank, or CIMB — is ready before you start so the deposit process goes smoothly.
A Better Experience with the Mobile App
The 185 mobile app gives you access to all table games without opening a browser every time. With a shortcut icon on your home screen, you're just one tap away from sitting down at your favourite baccarat table.
App performance is also more stable than a web browser, especially during live sessions that require real-time data transfer. Card reveals are smoother and dealer audio comes through clearly without buffering interruptions.
Push notifications from the app also keep you in the loop on special table game promotions or when new tables open — so you never miss an opportunity.
