Quick Game Guides for Filipino Players
New to live casino or need a refresher? Here's how each major game works on LuxyPlay.
How Baccarat Works on LuxyPlay
Baccarat is a pure comparison game between two hands — Player and Banker. Your job isn't to play the hand yourself; you simply bet on which hand will have a total closer to 9, or whether both will tie. Cards 2–9 count at face value, 10s and face cards count as zero, and Aces count as 1. If a hand total exceeds 9, only the second digit counts — so a 7 and 8 totalling 15 counts as 5.
The Banker bet has the lowest house edge on LuxyPlay — around 1.06% — which is why serious players tend to favor it over the long run, even with the small 5% commission on Banker wins. Pair side bets pay 11:1 and are popular with Filipino players who enjoy adding extra action to each round. On LuxyPlay's Speed Baccarat tables, rounds resolve in about 27 seconds — ideal for players who like fast-paced sessions.
How Roulette Works on LuxyPlay
European Roulette on LuxyPlay uses a 37-pocket wheel — numbers 1 through 36 and a single zero. The dealer (croupier) spins the ball in the opposite direction to the wheel, and you bet on where it will land. Bets range from straight-up single numbers (35:1 payout) to broad outside bets like red/black or odd/even that pay even money.
The single zero means the European version has a 2.7% house edge — significantly better than the American version with its double zero. LuxyPlay specifically uses European roulette on all live tables because it gives Filipino players the best statistical environment. You can mix and match bet types on the same spin, and the live dealer clearly announces each winning number with a full camera view of the wheel.
How Blackjack Works on LuxyPlay
In live blackjack at LuxyPlay, you play against the dealer with the goal of getting a hand value closer to 21 without going over. Number cards count at face value, face cards count as 10, and Aces count as 1 or 11. You're dealt two cards face up; the dealer gets one face up and one face down.
Your options are Hit (take another card), Stand (keep your current total), Double Down (double your bet and take exactly one more card), or Split (if you have two cards of the same value, split them into two separate hands). Blackjack — an Ace plus a 10-value card — typically pays 3:2. The dealer must hit on soft 17 at LuxyPlay tables. Side bets including Perfect Pairs and 21+3 (a poker combination using your cards and the dealer's upcard) are available on most tables.
How Sicbo Works on LuxyPlay
Sicbo is a three-dice game where you bet on the outcome of a single roll. The dealer shakes three dice inside a transparent dome and reveals the result. You can bet on the total of all three dice (4 through 17), specific number combinations, whether the total is Big (11–17) or Small (4–10), or a specific triple — three dice all showing the same face.
Big and Small bets on LuxyPlay pay 1:1 and are the most common entry points for new players — similar to even-money bets in roulette. Specific triples are the highest-paying sicbo bet at 150:1. LuxyPlay's sicbo tables run continuously and are particularly popular with players from areas with strong Chinese-Filipino cultural heritage, where the game has deep roots.
