PH365 Casino Table Games Philippines: 4 House Edges Compared

PH365's Card Games tab spans seven studios — TP, R88, JILI, KM, FTG, V8 and 1BET.

FactValue
PH365 Teen PattiTeen Patti ranks three-card hands from Trail (highest) through Pure Sequence, Sequence, Colour, Pair to High Card (lowest) — the reverse order poker uses for Sequence and Colour, because a three-card straight is rarer than a three-card flush across the deck's 22,100 possible hands.
PH365 European RouletteEuropean roulette uses one zero on a 37-pocket wheel, giving every bet a 2.70% house edge (1 in 37); payouts range from 35 to 1 on a single number to 1 to 1 on an even-money bet.
PH365 Three Card PokerThree Card Poker is played with an Ante and an optional Pair Plus bet, a decision to fold or Play, and a dealer hand that must reach Queen-high to qualify against you.
PH365 Andar BaharAndar Bahar deals a joker card to the middle, then alternates cards left and right until one matching its rank appears; the side that receives that matching card wins the round.

Casino table games Philippines players run into on a lobby’s Card Games tab split into a handful of distinct families rather than one uniform category. Some are poker-style, played against the values of a hand; some are wheel-based, paying fixed odds on a spin; some are a straight two-sided match. This page groups PH365’s Card Games tab by studio, then compares four of the games behind it by house edge — sourced from each game’s own rules where a fixed edge exists, or from standard combinatorics shown as arithmetic.

Casino Table Games Philippines Players Find on PH365’s Card Games Tab

PH365’s main menu carries a CARD GAMES entry, and the tab behind it splits into seven studio sections rather than one shared list:

  1. TP
  2. R88
  3. JILI
  4. KM
  5. FTG
  6. V8
  7. 1BET

Each of the seven fields its own build of whichever table and card titles it supports, the same studio-tab pattern the lobby uses for slots and fish games. Which exact titles a given studio is running behind its tab is something that tab shows once opened, not something fixed in advance.

Table and Card Game Families, Side by Side

Four families sit behind most Card Games tabs on a Philippine lobby, and this site covers one representative game from each:

FamilyWhat decides the resultCovered here
Poker-style hand rankingThe value of a dealt hand against a fixed ranking tableTeen Patti’s hand rankings and probabilities, Three Card Poker’s Ante, Play and Pair Plus bets
Fixed-odds wheelWhere a single spin lands among numbered pocketsEuropean roulette’s single-zero house edge
Two-sided card matchWhich side receives a card matching a revealed target rank firstAndar Bahar’s joker-card mechanic
Live-dealer banking gamesCard totals compared under fixed drawing rulescovered separately under PH365’s live-dealer games pillar

Poker-style and two-sided formats both depend on hand or card values; wheel and live banking games instead run on a fixed mechanical or shoe-based process that does not vary by hand at all. A player moving between families is really moving between two different kinds of decision: reading a hand against a ranking table, or simply picking a side and waiting on a fixed process to resolve. Recognising which family a table belongs to before sitting down is what tells a player whether strategy or a straight bet is actually in play.

House Edge Compared Across Four Table Games

Andar BaharBahar, paid 1:13.00%Wizard of Odds’ published combinatorial analysis

European roulette’s 2.70% comes straight from its own mechanics: a single number pays 35:1 against 37 equally likely pockets, so the expected value per unit staked is (1 ÷ 37 × 35) − (36 ÷ 37 × 1) = −1 ÷ 37, or 2.70%. Three Card Poker and Andar Bahar move with whichever paytable a table actually posts, which is why both appear here with the odds attached rather than as a single flat number. What house edge means, mathematically covers the same formula behind every row in this table.

Poker-Style Card Games: Teen Patti and Three Card Poker

Both games rank a small hand against a fixed table rather than paying fixed wheel odds:

  • Teen Patti deals three cards and compares hands across six ranks, from Trail down to High Card, with no dealer qualifying hand standing in the way. Three Card Poker’s dealer-qualifying rule covers the one major structural difference: an ante bet only survives if the dealer’s own hand reaches at least Queen-high.
  • Three Card Poker splits into two separate wagers, Ante/Play and Pair Plus, each with its own edge and its own paytable, rather than one combined bet the way Teen Patti runs.

JILI’s card and table game catalogue is one of the seven studios behind PH365’s Card Games tab and specialises in exactly this family alongside its slots.

Wheel and Matching Games: European Roulette and Andar Bahar

Neither of these two depends on a dealt hand at all:

  • European roulette runs on a fixed 37-pocket wheel with a single zero, and every bet on the layout carries the same 2.70% edge because the wheel itself never changes shape.
  • Andar Bahar deals a single joker card, then alternates cards between two sides until one receives a card matching the joker’s rank; that side wins, and the payout offered on each side is what moves the edge, not the deal itself.

Andar Bahar’s Andar side statistically wins slightly more often across a full deck, which is exactly why its payout runs lower than Bahar’s on most tables — the lower payout offsets the higher win rate rather than creating an unfair game.

Reading a Table’s Posted Rules Before You Sit Down

Problem: Three Card Poker’s Pair Plus and Andar Bahar’s side payouts both vary by table, so a house edge quoted for one paytable can be meaningfully wrong for another.

Fix: read the paytable printed on the table or inside the game’s own rules screen before placing a bet, rather than assuming a number from a different table or a different site applies here.

  1. Open the game’s own rules or info screen first — every one of the four games covered on this page publishes its ranking or paytable there.
  2. Compare the posted payout for side bets like Pair Plus against the standard figures in the table above before treating either as guaranteed.
  3. Note which family the table belongs to — hand-ranking, fixed-odds wheel or two-sided match — since that alone tells a player whether the posted paytable can move at all.
  4. Cashing out afterwards runs through the same cashier process as any other table win; how a Philippine casino cashier moves table-game winnings to GCash or a bank account covers that side separately from the games themselves.
  5. The casino terms explained in the glossary carry the terms this page uses — house edge, and the combinatorics behind it — in one place for cross-reference.

None of this changes once a hand is dealt or a wheel starts spinning: reading the posted rules is something to do before the first bet, not partway through a session.

FAQ

Which studios does PH365's Card Games tab list?

Seven: TP, R88, JILI, KM, FTG, V8 and 1BET. Each fields its own build of the table and card titles it supports, the same tab-by-studio pattern the lobby uses for slots and fish games.

Which table game here carries the lowest house edge?

It depends on the exact payout schedule posted at the table. Single-zero European roulette runs a fixed 2.70% on every bet. An Andar Bahar bet paid at 0.9:1 can run as low as 2.15%, but the same bet paid at 0.85:1 runs 4.72% instead — check the schedule the table actually posts before assuming either number applies.

What's the core difference between Teen Patti's hand rankings and poker's?

Teen Patti ranks a three-card Sequence (straight) above a Colour (flush), the reverse of five-card poker's order. That flip follows the rarer hand ranking higher: across the deck's 22,100 three-card combinations, a Sequence is rarer than a Colour, where five-card poker has it the other way round.

Does slow-revealing or squeezing cards change any table game's odds?

No table game changes its result based on how a card is revealed. Once cards are dealt, their order and value are fixed; a slower reveal is theatre, not a second chance at a different card.

How do you check Three Card Poker's exact Pair Plus payout before playing?

Pair Plus paytables vary by table, and the edge moves with them. The paytable is posted on the table or inside the game's own rules screen; reading it before betting is the only way to know which version is running.

How does Andar Bahar's joker card decide the winner?

A single joker card is revealed first, and cards are then dealt alternately to the Andar and Bahar sides until one side receives a card matching the joker's rank. Whichever side gets the first matching rank wins that round; suit plays no part in the match.
