9701 Table Games — Strategy, Skill & Endless Fun
This page explains everything you need to know about Table Games on the 9701 platform — game types, how to read odds, comparison with other categories, mobile experience, and local context for Malaysian players.
Table Games — Understand in Two Minutes
Table Games refers to the casino games played on a table — including Blackjack, Baccarat, Poker, Sicbo, and Roulette. Unlike slots that rely purely on luck, some table games like Blackjack involve strategy and player decisions that can influence the outcome. At 9701, this category includes both digital (RNG) and Live Casino versions with real dealers.
Table games are ideal for players who want more than just spinning a button. If you enjoy thinking before making a move, understanding basic statistics, or simply want a more interactive experience, table games are the right choice. Baccarat suits beginners with its straightforward rules, while Blackjack and Poker appeal to players who want to apply strategy to improve their odds.

Understanding Odds & Rules — With Real Examples
Each table game has different rules and payout odds. Understanding these helps you make more informed betting decisions. For a simple example in Blackjack: if you bet RM20 and hit Blackjack (Ace + 10-value card), most tables pay 3:2 — meaning you win RM30, for a total payout of RM50 (stake plus profit). On the other hand, a regular win (not Blackjack) pays 1:1 — RM20 winnings on a RM20 bet.
Understanding the difference between 1:1, 3:2, and 6:5 Blackjack payouts (depending on table variation) is crucial as it directly affects your long-term profitability. Tables paying 3:2 for Blackjack are always more favourable for players over 6:5 in the long run.
Basic Blackjack Strategy
Blackjack is the only table game where player decisions directly affect the house edge. Players who apply basic strategy (a standard decision chart) can reduce the casino's advantage to under 1%, making it the best-odds game in this category.
Table Games vs Other Categories — Finding Your Fit
Each game category has its own strengths. Use this table to find the best fit based on your play style, experience level, and goals.
If you're new to casino games, explore the Slots category first to understand the basic mechanics before moving on to more interactive table games.
Table Game Experience on a Small Screen
The 9701 platform designs the Table Games interface with mobile players as a priority. Blackjack and Baccarat tables display all key info — card values, betting balance, Hit/Stand/Double buttons, and results — clearly arranged without needing to zoom in or out on your phone screen.
For Android users, the official 9701 app offers smoother performance than regular browsers, with faster response times when pressing buttons during active Blackjack rounds. For iOS users, the platform runs flawlessly on Safari and mobile Chrome.
Players accessing from areas with slower connections — like some parts of Sabah and Sarawak — will find digital table games (RNG) much lighter on data than Live Casino games which use video streams, allowing smoother play even on 3G networks.
- Table interfaces optimized for touch screens
- Action buttons are clear and not too small
- RNG games use far less data than video streams
- Compatible with Android, iOS, and all modern browsers
Table Games in the Malaysian Player Context
Baccarat — The Top Choice for Many Asian Players
Baccarat remains the most popular table game among Southeast Asian players, including in Malaysia. The reason is simple: its rules are the easiest in this category. Players only need to choose between Player, Banker, or Tie — and the dealer handles the rest. This makes Baccarat an ideal starting point for newcomers who want table games without memorizing complex strategy charts.
Blackjack — The Table Game with a Skill Element
Among more experienced Malaysian players, Blackjack stands out for its real decision-making in every round. Players from urban areas like Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, and Johor Bahru who gravitate toward skill-based games often make Blackjack their go-to table game on the 9701 platform. Consistently applying basic strategy can bring the house edge down to the lowest level of any casino game.
Sicbo & Teen Patti — Locally Themed Games
Sicbo, the traditional dice game popular across Asia, and Teen Patti, rooted in South Asian card game tradition and now gaining ground in Malaysia — both are available on the 9701 platform. These games attract players looking for something closer to local gaming culture while still enjoying the convenience of a modern digital platform. For players from states like Selangor, Kedah, and Perak who are familiar with traditional card games, Teen Patti offers a more familiar experience.

Frequently Asked Questions About Table Games
Baccarat is the best starting point for new players — it has the simplest rules in the table games category. Just pick Player, Banker, or Tie, and the dealer handles the rest. No complex decisions are needed during play. Once you're comfortable with Baccarat, you can move on to Blackjack, which involves more strategic decision-making for a deeper experience.
RNG Table Games use a digital random number generator — no live dealer, no video stream, and the game runs at your own pace. This makes them faster and lighter on data usage. Live Casino, on the other hand, features real human dealers broadcast via live video, delivering a more authentic casino atmosphere. Both options are available on the 9701 platform and can be accessed from separate categories in the navigation menu.
Some table games on the 9701 platform offer a demo mode that lets you explore game mechanics without using real money. Demo mode is especially useful for Blackjack, where you can practise basic strategy before playing with real stakes. To access all real-money tables and be eligible for winnings, you'll need to register an account and make a deposit first.
Yes, all RNG versions of table games on the 9701 platform use a random number generator that ensures every card dealt, dice roll, or wheel spin is independent and unpredictable. This is the industry standard for ensuring fair play for all players. Each round is an independent event, unaffected by previous outcomes, bet amounts, or how long you've been playing.
