Five Table Games You Need to Know
Baccarat — Malaysia's Number One Choice
Baccarat is the most popular table game among Malaysian players on the 1001 platform. Its straightforward mechanics — simply choose Player, Banker, or Tie — make it ideal for beginners. At the same time, experienced players appreciate the relatively balanced statistical odds and the fast pace of each round, which allows for a high number of hands in a short amount of time.
Blackjack — Where Your Decisions Matter
Unlike baccarat, blackjack puts the power in the player's hands through strategic decision-making. Whether you choose to hit, stand, double down, or split a pair, every decision shapes your odds. At 1001, several blackjack variants are available — including multi-hand table versions for players who have already mastered basic strategy.
Poker — Where Skill Meets Luck
Poker is a game that blends luck with the skill of reading situations. On the 1001 platform, you'll find poker variants including Texas Hold'em and Casino Hold'em. Players need to understand poker hand rankings — from a low pair all the way up to a royal flush — to make smart betting decisions. It's a game that takes practice, but there's a real sense of satisfaction when your strategy pays off.
Sic Bo — The Excitement of Three Dice
Sic bo is a classic Asian dice game that's hugely popular among Malaysian players. Three dice are shaken inside a covered container, and players bet on various outcome combinations — from the total sum of the dice to specific numbers that appear. With a wide range of bet types available, sic bo offers varying payout rates, giving both conservative and aggressive players plenty of options.
Roulette — The Thrill of the Spinning Wheel
Roulette offers one of the most iconic table game experiences around. Players bet on where the ball will land on a spinning wheel — a single number, a colour, odd or even, or a range of other combinations. The European version with a single zero is available at 1001, giving a lower house edge compared to the American version. That makes European Roulette the smarter choice from a statistical standpoint.
Key Terms You Need to Know
- House Edge
- The mathematical edge the casino holds over players in the long run. Baccarat on the Banker bet, for example, carries a house edge of around 1.06% — one of the lowest of any table game.
- Basic Strategy
- In blackjack, basic strategy is a decision chart that tells players the statistically optimal move based on their hand versus the dealer's face-up card. Following basic strategy significantly reduces the house edge.
- Payout
- The ratio of winnings you receive when you win. A 1:1 payout means you get your original stake back plus the same amount as profit. A natural blackjack typically pays 3:2, so a RM 100 bet returns RM 150 in profit.
- Split
- In blackjack, when you're dealt two cards of equal value, you can split them into two separate hands with an equal additional bet. This lets you play both hands simultaneously, each with its own odds of winning.
- Banker Commission
- In baccarat, a winning Banker bet carries a five percent commission. This is because the Banker hand has a slightly higher probability of winning. So a winning RM 100 Banker bet pays out a net RM 95.
- Poker Hand Rankings
- Poker hand rankings from highest to lowest: Royal Flush, Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, and High Card. Knowing these rankings is the foundation you need before playing any variant of poker.

Table Games vs Slots — Finding the Right Fit for You
- Involves strategy and player decisions
