What Is a Live Casino?
A live casino streams a real dealer — sitting at a physical table inside a studio — directly to your screen. You place bets through a digital interface while the dealer spins the wheel, draws cards or deals in real time. The experience bridges the gap between a fully automated slot and a brick-and-mortar casino floor.
At ace9, live tables are powered by providers including Sexy Gaming, Ezugi and Playtech, covering everything from classic baccarat to South Asian favourites like Teen Patti and Andar Bahar. The tables run around the clock, so you can join a game at any hour from your phone or laptop.

Baccarat — Rules & Betting
Baccarat is the most played live table game at ace9 and across Malaysia. Two hands — Player and Banker — are each dealt two cards. The hand with a total closest to 9 wins. Tens and face cards count as zero; Ace counts as 1.
You bet on Player, Banker or Tie before the cards are dealt. You do not control which cards are drawn — the draw rules are fixed. A third card is drawn automatically when the hand total is 0–5.
| Bet | Payout | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Player | 1:1 | No commission |
| Banker | 0.95:1 | 5% commission on wins |
| Tie | 8:1 | High house edge — use sparingly |
| Player Pair | 11:1 | Side bet — first two cards form a pair |
| Banker Pair | 11:1 | Side bet — first two cards form a pair |
Roulette — Rules & Betting
Live roulette at ace9 is available in both European (single zero) and other variants. A dealer spins the wheel and drops a ball; you win if the ball lands on your chosen number or group.
| Bet Type | Coverage | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Straight Up | 1 number | 35:1 |
| Split | 2 adjacent numbers | 17:1 |
| Street | 3 numbers in a row | 11:1 |
| Corner | 4 numbers | 8:1 |
| Dozen / Column | 12 numbers | 2:1 |
| Red / Black | 18 numbers | 1:1 |
| Odd / Even | 18 numbers | 1:1 |
European roulette has a single zero which gives a house edge of 2.7%. Beginners are better off starting with even-money bets (Red/Black, Odd/Even) to extend playtime while getting comfortable with the interface.
Teen Patti — Rules & Betting
Teen Patti is a three-card poker variant hugely popular across Malaysia and South Asia. Each player receives three cards face-down. The goal is to hold a stronger hand than the dealer — or bluff convincingly. Live Teen Patti at ace9 runs on Sexy Gaming and Ezugi tables.
Hand rankings from highest to lowest: Trail (three of a kind) → Pure Sequence → Sequence → Colour → Pair → High Card.
| Hand | Description | Odds (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Trail | Three cards of the same rank | 1 in 425 |
| Pure Sequence | Three consecutive suited cards | 1 in 460 |
| Sequence | Three consecutive cards, any suit | 1 in 30 |
| Colour | Three cards of the same suit | 1 in 19 |
| Pair | Two cards of the same rank | 1 in 6 |
| High Card | None of the above | Most common |
Andar Bahar — Rules & Betting
Andar Bahar is one of the simplest live games available at ace9 — ideal for first-timers. The dealer draws one "joker" card face-up, then deals cards alternately to two piles: Andar (inside) and Bahar (outside). You bet on which pile will receive a card matching the joker's rank first.
There are only two main outcomes to bet on, plus optional side bets on how many cards will be dealt before the match. The house edge sits around 2.15% on the first-bet option, making it one of the more player-friendly live games.
| Bet | Payout | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Andar (first bet) | 0.9:1 | Slight commission if Andar wins first round |
| Bahar | 1:1 | Even money |
| Number of Cards (side) | Up to 120:1 | Bet on how many cards before match |
