A Closer Look at Our Table Games
For most Malaysians, names like baccarat, blackjack, or sic bo are probably already familiar — especially for those who have visited major casinos and entertainment resorts. But for those who have never tried them, or who have played without truly understanding the strategy behind them, this page will give you a clear picture of what to expect in the Table Games section. atas casino.
Table games are the most skill-based category in casino gaming, a step above slots. Here, the decisions you make directly influence the outcome. Choose when to hit or stand in blackjack. Place smarter bets in sic bo. Know when to wager more in baccarat based on game patterns. These are all skills that can be learned and refined over time.
Baccarat – The King of Malaysian Table Games
No table game is more synonymous with Malaysia than baccarat. Whether you're at Genting Highlands, a casino in Macau, or playing online at atas casino — baccarat tables are always packed with players. There's a very good reason it's become the go-to game of choice.
First, baccarat is incredibly easy to learn. You only need to make one decision: do you want to bet on the Banker hand, the Player hand, or a Tie? There are no further decisions to make after that — you simply sit back and watch the outcome unfold. This makes it a relaxed, low-pressure game that's still thoroughly enjoyable.
Second, baccarat carries one of the lowest house edges of any casino game. The Banker bet has a house edge of just 1.06% (after the 5% commission), while the Player bet sits at 1.24%. That is significantly better than most other games. If you want to maximise your statistical chances of winning, baccarat is the smart choice.
Baccarat Tips from Atas Casino: The Tie bet offers an enticing 8:1 or 9:1 payout, but its house edge sits at around 14.4% — significantly higher than other bets. Play it for fun if you're curious, but don't make it your main strategy.
Blackjack – The Most Skill-Dependent Casino Game
If baccarat appeals to those who want simplicity, blackjack is for players who want a more active role in every decision. In blackjack, every choice you make — whether to hit, stand, double down, or split — directly influences the outcome of your hand.
What makes blackjack stand out is that it has the lowest house edge of any casino game when you apply the correct basic strategy — under 0.5% in many variants. In practice, this means that for every RM100 wagered, you can expect to lose less than RM0.50 over the long run when playing optimally.
When Should You Hit?
When your hand totals 11 or below, always hit. If your total is 12–16 and the dealer shows a 7 or higher, hit. The risk of busting is real, but the alternative is worse.
When to Stand?
If your hand is 17 or above, standing is always the safer play. If you're sitting on 12–16 and the dealer shows 2–6, stand — the dealer may well bust on their own.
When to Double Down?
When you hold 10 or 11 and the dealer's card is lower than 10, double down to maximise your potential winnings in a favourable situation.
When to Split?
Always split Aces and 8s. Never split 10s or 5s. For all other pairs, whether to split depends on the dealer's card — refer to a strategy chart as your guide.
Sic Bo & Dragon Tiger – Asian Heritage Games
Sic Bo traces its roots to a Chinese dice tradition played for centuries. At atas casino, we offer a version that blends tradition with modern technology — a crisp digital display showing all available bet types and payouts for every combination.
Dragon Tiger is hugely popular across Southeast Asia, Malaysia included. It's essentially a stripped-down version of baccarat — one card for Dragon, one for Tiger, and the higher card wins. Rounds are over in seconds, making it the go-to game for players who prefer a fast tempo and quick results.
Important Reminder: While table games have a lower house edge than slots, they are still games of chance. Always set a loss limit before you play, and never chase your losses. Responsible gaming is the key to an enjoyable and sustainable experience.

Basic Strategy for Beginners
Many new players at atas casino often ask the same question: "Where should I start?" Here's a quick guide to help you choose the right game and approach it the right way.
1
Start with Baccarat or Dragon Tiger
Neither game requires complex decision-making. Simply pick a side to back, and the outcome is decided within seconds. Perfect for getting your bearings early on.
2
Learn Basic Blackjack Strategy
Before playing blackjack with real money, memorise the basic strategy chart. It shows the optimal decision for every combination of your hand and the dealer's card. This isn't rote learning — it's applied mathematics.
3
Set a Budget Before You Play
Decide on the maximum amount you're willing to lose before opening any game. Once that limit is reached, stop. This discipline is the single biggest difference between players who last and those who don't.
4
Try the Demo Version First
Atas casino offers a demo mode for most digital table games. Use it to get comfortable with the rules and interface before playing with real money.
5
Understand the House Edge Differences
Choose games and bet types with the lowest house edge. In baccarat, bet on the Banker. In blackjack, use basic strategy. In sic bo, avoid specific three-dice combination bets — they may offer big payouts, but the house edge is considerably higher.
