PH888 Casino Poker Games and the Rest of the Cards Tab

Casino poker games are only part of the story: on PH888 the Cards tab mixes poker tables with banker games and dice, three very different kinds of game under one heading, and knowing which kind you have opened tells you whether you are betting against the house, guessing dice, or playing a hand against other seats. This pillar sorts them, then sends you to a full page on four of the most searched. The rest of the lobby’s lanes are mapped on the PH888 casino overview.

Casino poker games and card tables on PH888, studio by studio

These are the games each studio tab listed when paged to the end on 19 October 2026:

That makes 125 games. Several names repeat across studios, so the same game type can appear three times with different rules, payouts and visual styles; read each one’s rules screen before you play. JILI’s catalogue and certification are summarised on the JILI provider page, and the game providers index covers the studios this site profiles.

Three kinds of card game, three ways of paying

House-banked tables

In a house-banked game every bet has a fixed payout and the game keeps an edge built into those payouts. Andar Bahar is a clear example: according to pagat.com’s rules, the pile that receives the first card pays 0.9 to 1 and the other pays 1 to 1, which leaves a 2.15% and 3% house edge respectively. The house edge definition shows how that percentage is worked out.

Dice games

Dice games settle on three dice in one throw. Big Small and Sic Bo share the Big and Small bets: totals of 4 to 10 are Small, 11 to 17 are Big, and a triple beats both, per the published sic bo rules. The big small game page walks through the 216 possible throws.

Multiplayer card games: skill against other seats

Multiplayer card games put you against other hands rather than a fixed payout table. JILI describes Pusoy Go as the traditional four-player game from the Philippines, in which each player arranges 13 cards into sets of 3, 5 and 5, and Tongits Go takes its name from Tong Its, which pagat.com lists as a rummy game for three players. Ludo Quick turns the dice-and-tokens board game into a fast four-player round.

1. Pusoy Go — arrangement skill: how you split your 13 cards decides most results; see the 13 cards hand-order explainer.
2. Ludo Quick — dice plus tactics: which token you move each turn; the ludo game rules page covers it.
3. Tongits Go and Rummy — melding and discarding over several rounds.

Read the rules screen before you join a table: it states how each round is scored and what the game charges.

Filipino favourites on the tab

Several games on the PH888 Cards tab come straight from Filipino card tables, and their names can mislead. pagat.com’s survey of card games in the Philippines draws the lines clearly:

Pusoy Go on the tab follows the first row: JILI’s own page says players arrange 13 cards into sets of 3, 5 and 5 and compare them three times, and winning all three against one opponent doubles the win. Fish Prawn Crab, listed by both JILI and WG, is a three-dice game rather than a card game, so treat it like Big Small.

Reading a card game’s rules screen

Every table on the tab carries its own rules screen, and five lines on it matter more than the artwork:

1. The bets you can place and what each pays.
2. Any commission charged on a winning bet.
3. What happens on a tie or a triple.
4. The minimum and maximum stake per round.
5. Whether side bets are offered, and their payouts.

Two versions of the same game from different studios can differ on every one of those lines, so check the screen each time you switch studio.

The poker tables in the Cards tab

Poker shows up in every studio’s Cards list, in several forms. On 19 October 2026 the tabs listed, among others:

Some of these deal you against the game’s paytable, others against other seats, so open each one’s rules screen to see which kind you are at before you stake.

Four pages for the most searched games

1. Ludo game rules for the quick format — from the yard to the home column.
2. How 13 cards split into three hands — the back, middle and front order in Pusoy.
3. The big small game on three dice — totals, triples and payouts.
4. Andar bahar rules, round by round — the house card and the two piles.

Cards versus live tables

The Cards tab runs on software dealing from JILI, WG, MW and KY; the Live tab hands you to each studio’s own live lobby, where a human dealer runs the table. Baccarat and Dragon Tiger appear in both places with the same core rules, but live tables run at the dealer’s pace. The live dealer online casino basics covers that side.

Before you open a card table

1. Read the game’s rules and paytable screen; payouts differ between studios’ versions of the same game.
2. Decide a stake per round and a number of rounds before you sit down.
3. Treat side bets as separate wagers with their own, usually larger, edge.

Card rounds are short, so a budget disappears faster than it feels. The betting budget plan gives you a simple way to cap a session before it starts.
