Asia has the largest and fastest-growing population worldwide. The continent accounts for nearly 60% of the population of the entire world. In addition, Asia has a rich cultural diversity that includes a long history of gambling. Macau, the largest Asian gambling city, keeps on growing each year and has already outstripped Las Vegas in the United States as the gambling capital of the world. Today, there are numerous casino games that are available in both land-based and online casinos in India. The following are the most popular gambling games among Asian players.

1. Baccarat

At the moment, Baccarat is one of the most popular and most played casino games throughout Asia. It can be found in many land-based and online casinos in India, China, Singapore, Korea and Indonesia. The popularity of this game is clearly unmatched as it accounts for more than 90% of the revenue in Macau alone. Apart from that, nearly all Asian casinos offer a vast selection of Baccarat variants. They include commission-free baccarat, Speed baccarat as well as live dealer baccarat.

Baccarat seems complicated but, in reality, it is quite easy to play. There is no strategy for winning at the game, and the odds are as good as wagering on a coin toss, which translates to a 50/50 chance of winning. To play baccarat, you first need to place your bet. Thereafter, the dealer deals the cards to each player face down. The goal of the game is to have the hand you are betting on (banker or player), be the best from the cards that have been dealt.

2. Poker

Poker has become very popular in Asia in recent times. In 2020, many players in China, India and Singapore embraced the game with players in Japan, Korea and Taiwan soon following suit. Today, the population of players playing this game keeps on increasing with many casinos offering the game in multiple variations. However, the most popular variant of poker in Asia is Pai Gow Poker. This variant has friendly rules and is fun to play, which has helped make it a favourite with many fans who want a different kind of poker.

Mostly, poker is played by several players surrounding an oval-shaped table. The game starts with the dealer giving each player a number of cards. Depending on the game variant, the dealer may deal all the cards at once, give them in sets, or form a community-card pile. Once a round of cards has been dealt to each player, bets are placed. During the betting stage, players can decide to either Check, Fold, Call, or Raise.

3. Blackjack

Blackjack is another popular choice among many Asian casino players. Throughout Asia, there are luxurious land-based casinos that offer exclusive Blackjack tables. In addition, offshore online casinos that accept Asian players have also increased in number and offer a vast range of online versions of the game. For example, one of the most popular blackjack variants in China is Chinese Blackjack. In Malaysia, a local version known as Kampung Blackjack has emerged and become popular among the local gambling community.

Blackjack is often played with a deck of 52 cards. The game starts with players buying some chips and placing their wagers. Next, the dealer deals two cards to each player and thereafter plays his hand. Then, each player also plays with their hands. When a player draws a hand worth 21 or less that has a higher value than the dealer’s, then that player wins the game. However, when the opposite is true, or the value of the player’s hand exceeds 21, then the player loses the round.

Conclusion

The aforementioned are three of the top casino games that are popular among players in Asia. Other notable mentions include Sic Bo, Pachinko, Mahjong and craps. Given their popularity, it’s not hard to understand why these games are so popular in this region. Each of them is exciting, fun and promises attractive payouts. However, even if they’re having fun, players should ensure they’re playing at legitimate and trustworthy casinos.
