Why are table games more appealing than other game types?
Baccarat and Blackjack offer some of the lowest House Edges of any casino game — ideal for players who want to stretch their sessions longer.
Unlike slots, table games let you apply basic strategy to reduce the house edge and make your own decisions every round.
Live Dealer tables bring the social atmosphere of a real casino to life. You interact with a human dealer and fellow players in real time.
All table games at mat6 are optimised for smartphone screens – clear buttons, lightweight animations, and fast response even on a standard 4G connection.
Five major table games and what sets each one apart
Every table game has its own character — from win rates to the most effective strategies. Here is an in-depth breakdown to help you choose the right game for you.
Blackjack
Blackjack has the lowest House Edge of any table game when you apply the correct basic strategy — it can drop as low as 0.5%. The goal is to reach 21, or get closer to 21 than the dealer, without going over (busting). mat6 offers multiple variants including Classic Blackjack, European Blackjack, and Multi-Hand Blackjack. Players can use a basic strategy chart to make optimal hit, stand, double down, or split decisions.
Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the most popular games among Asian players and a top choice at mat6. The mechanics are straightforward – bet on either Banker, Player, or Tie. The house edge on the Banker bet is around 1.06% (after commission), while the Player bet sits at around 1.24%. The Tie option pays out more but carries a much higher house edge of around 14%, which means the best strategy is to avoid Tie bets except as an occasional variation.
Roulette
Roulette comes in two main formats at mat6 — European (37 slots, House Edge 2.7%) and American (38 slots with an extra 00 slot, House Edge 5.26%). Malaysian players are strongly recommended to go with European Roulette for the better odds. Outside bets such as red/black or odd/even offer close to a 50% chance of winning, making them ideal for players who prefer longer sessions with more controlled risk.
Texas Poker
Texas Hold'em Poker at mat6 lets you play against the system or share a table with other players. Each player receives two hole cards and shares five community cards to build the best five-card hand out of seven. Betting takes place across four rounds: preflop, flop, turn, and river. It is the most strategy-driven game on the platform, as every decision you make at each stage significantly affects the final outcome.
Sic Bo
Sic Bo is a traditional dice game with Asian origins that is deeply rooted in local gambling culture. At mat6, players bet on the outcome of three dice rolls – covering combinations such as small/big totals, specific numbers, and triples (all three dice showing the same value). The "Small" bet (total 4–10) and "Big" bet (total 11–17) each offer close to 50% odds and are well-suited for new players. Triple bets pay out more but carry much lower odds, making them a high-risk option for players chasing big wins.

| Comparison | Table Games | Slot Machines |
|---|---|---|

If you prefer more variety, mat6 also offers online lottery games as an alternative that requires no in-depth strategy knowledge.
What to check before you sit at your first table
New player checklist
A glossary of table game terms every player should know
In Blackjack, a "bust" happens when the total value of your hand exceeds 21. This means you automatically lose that round without having to wait for the dealer's hand to be revealed.
An option in Blackjack that lets you split two cards of equal value into two separate hands. This doubles your bet but gives you two independent chances to beat the dealer.
When your first two cards are an Ace and a 10-value card (10, J, Q, K). This produces a value of 21 with just two cards and typically pays at 3:2 — higher than a standard win.
In Baccarat, the casino charges a commission — typically 5% — on winning Banker bets. This is why the Banker bet, despite winning more often, does not pay out at full 1:1 odds but rather around 0.95:1.
A special rule in European Roulette — when the ball lands on zero (0), your even-money bets are not lost outright but instead placed "in prison" for the next round, reducing your actual losses.
A mandatory initial bet placed before cards are dealt in certain Poker variants. The Ante ensures every player has a stake in each hand and prevents players from waiting passively for too long.
Two key concepts to understand before you sit down at a table
- Basic Blackjack Strategy
-
Basic strategy is a mathematically optimised set of decisions that maximises your winning odds over the long run based on your hand and the dealer's up card. It does not guarantee a win every round, but it reduces the House Edge to its lowest possible level.
Quick example: If you hold 11 (e.g. 6+5) and the dealer is showing a 6, basic strategy says to double down — double your bet and take one additional card. This is because you have a strong chance of hitting 21 while the dealer is likely to bust with a low hole card.
- Flat Betting System
-
Flat betting means wagering the same amount every round without increasing or decreasing it based on previous results. It is the safest bankroll management approach for new table game players.
Quick example: You place a fixed RM20 bet each round regardless of whether you won or lost the round before. This lets you manage 50 rounds on a RM1,000 balance, giving you a more controlled playing session compared to increasing your bets after a loss.
The table is ready – just register and deposit

How Malaysian players approach table games in different situations
After tarawih during Ramadan
For players looking for light entertainment after tarawih, digital Baccarat (without Live Dealer) at mat6 is a great fit — rounds move quickly and can be enjoyed in 20–30 minutes from your phone before bed. Any balance already in your account remains available whenever you need it.
Lunch break at the office
A few rounds of Roulette or Blackjack can be wrapped up in just 15–20 minutes. mat6's mobile interface lets players in KL or Petaling Jaya open a table quickly, place a few bets, and close the app without disrupting their workday.
Friendly competitions among friends
Friends gathering over the weekend can each join the same Live Blackjack table online, creating a fun competitive atmosphere. Every player uses their own account from their own phone while chatting and comparing strategies.
While waiting for a flight
Malaysian airport Wi-Fi is generally sufficient for digital table games (excluding Live Dealer). Players waiting for a flight at KLIA or other airports can make good use of their downtime with a few rounds of Sic Bo or Roulette — no high-speed connection required.
The connection between table games and Malaysia's entertainment culture
Table games like Sic Bo and Baccarat have deep cultural roots within Malaysia's Asian communities. For decades, these games have been played during festive occasions such as Chinese New Year and family gatherings, making them more than just gambling – they are part of a social tradition.
With online platforms like mat6, this experience is now accessible from anywhere in Malaysia – from Sabah to Johor – without needing to travel to a physical casino. The Bahasa Malaysia interface ensures all users, including those less comfortable with English interfaces, can play with confidence.
Texas Hold'em Poker is also growing in popularity among younger Malaysians influenced by the mind sports culture. The game blends situational reading, risk management, and strategy — qualities that resonate with the competitive and sporting spirit of the younger community.
How do I top up my balance to start playing at the tables?
The deposit process for table games at mat6 works the same as any other section of the platform. You can top up your balance using local Malaysian payment methods with no currency conversion or dealings with overseas banks required.
The fastest methods are DuitNow and GrabPay, which process deposits within seconds. This matters especially if you want to join an active Live Dealer table — a delayed deposit could mean waiting for the next round.
Once your balance is credited, head to the Table Games section, choose your preferred game and table, select your chip value, and start placing bets. All winnings are automatically credited to your account balance in real time and can be withdrawn at any time using the same method.
For a comfortable first experience, you can log in to your existing account sign in to your existing account or register a new one and start with a small minimum deposit to get a feel for the games before adding more funds.
