Pok Deng Game Rules
There are 8 decks of game cards used and no joker card is used in the game.
At the start of a new shoe, the dealer will shuffle the cards and insert the “cut card” into the shoe.
Then, the dealer will draw a card from the shoe and turn it over. This will determine how many cards the dealer will burn. The value of the card decides the number of cards to be burnt – except a 10 or face card, which will result in burning 10 cards.
When the dealer draws the “cut card”, the current round will be the last round. More cards will be drawn in order to complete this last round.
After the last round, all cards will be shuffled and put into the shoe to start a new shoe.
There are 10 different choices of betting:
Player 1 | Player 2 | Player 3 | Player 4 | Player 5 |
Player 1 Pair | Player 2 Pair | Player 3 Pair | Player 4 Pair | Player 5 Pair |
How to Win
Player 1 to Player 5
Players 1 to 5 compare their hands to Banker’s separately. The hand with the higher points value of the cards is the winner.
Player 1 Pair to Player 5 Pair
Player Pair wins if the hand of the corresponding Player is a pair.
Gameplay
Bets are accepted after the countdown begins.
At the beginning of a round, the dealer draws a card (face down) from the shoe. This card is burnt. Then, the dealer deals two cards to each Player, with Banker being the last.
Dealing order of the game:
First card | Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4, Player 5, Banker |
Second card | Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4, Player 5, Banker |
When the countdown is over, no more bets can be placed. The dealer will then reveal the cards starting from Player 1 to Player 5, and Banker will be the last.
Each Player compares his or her hand to Banker’s hand.
9 points is the highest value, while 0 points is the lowest. Cards are given point values as follows: Ace = 1; 2-9 = face value; 10, J, Q and K = 0.
The hand is valued by the unit digit of the sum of two cards when it exceeds 9 points. For example, if the two cards were an 8 and a 7, the total would be 15 and the value would be 5 points.
For Player 1 Pair to Player 5 Pair, the Player Pair wins if its hand is a pair.

Banker and Player may share the same pattern or have the same hand value in the same round. For example, both Banker and Player 1 may have a Special Pair (7.4 points), resulting in a “tie”. |
Notes
- When a player bets on Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4 or Player 5, the system will deduct the player’s balance by 2 times of the “bet amount”. Players should check whether there is sufficient balance.
- Generally, the odds should be 1:1 when betting on Player 1, Player 2, Player 3, Player 4 or Player 5.
- When Banker wins with a flush, a pair or any one of the special combinations listed in the table above, the losing odds would be 2:1 (See Example 4 & Example 6).
- When Player wins with a flush, a pair or any one of the special combinations listed in the table above, the winning odds would be 2:1 (See Example 3).
- When Banker has 0 points or 6 points, even Player wins the round with a flush, a pair or any one of the special combinations listed in the table above, the winning odds remain at 1:1 (See Example 8).
- When Player has 8 points or 9 points with a flush or a pair, even Banker has 0 points or 6 points, the winning odds remain at 2:1 (overriding Point 5) (See Example 9).
