Allbet Live Games at Maxim88 — Baccarat & Bull Bull
Asia-focused live casino tables with authentic card games including the much-loved Bull Bull — available at Maxim88 Malaysia 24/7.
Allbet Gaming at Maxim88 — Asia's Dedicated Live Casino Provider
Allbet Gaming is one of Asia's most established live casino providers, operating continuously since 2014. While Evolution Gaming dominates the European-style live table segment, Allbet has built its reputation by focusing specifically on games popular with Chinese-speaking and Southeast Asian players — particularly Baccarat and the card comparison game Bull Bull (Niu Niu). At Maxim88 Malaysia, both of Allbet's flagship titles are available around the clock alongside the broader live casino lobby.
Allbet holds a valid PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) licence, placing it under the same regulatory framework as other major providers in the Southeast Asian market. The studio operates in Asia-Pacific time zones with dealers fluent in Mandarin and English, which contributes to its popularity among Malaysian players who prefer a familiar cultural context at the live table.

Allbet Baccarat at Maxim88 — Rules and How to Play
Allbet's Baccarat tables at Maxim88 follow standard baccarat rules identical to those used in every major casino worldwide. Two hands are dealt — the Player and the Banker — and you bet on which hand will have a total card value closest to 9. Allbet's tables are notable for their clean, uncluttered interface which makes the game particularly accessible for new players.
Allbet Baccarat Payouts
| Bet Type | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Banker Win | 0.95:1 (5% commission deducted) | 1.06% |
| Player Win | 1:1 | 1.24% |
| Tie | 8:1 | 14.36% |
| Banker Pair (side bet) | 11:1 | ~11% |
| Player Pair (side bet) | 11:1 | ~11% |
The optimal long-run strategy for Allbet Baccarat is to consistently bet Banker, which carries the lowest house edge at 1.06%. Tie bets and Pair side bets carry significantly higher house edges and are best treated as infrequent entertainment options rather than part of a systematic betting approach. Malaysian players wanting to compare baccarat tables can also explore SA Gaming for an Asian-studio alternative.
Bull Bull (Niu Niu) at Maxim88 — Complete Guide
Bull Bull, known in Mandarin as Niu Niu (牛牛), is a five-card comparison game that originated in Chinese card gaming culture and has become one of the most popular live casino titles across Malaysia, Singapore, and China. Allbet brought Bull Bull to the online live casino format, and it is available at Maxim88 as part of the Allbet lobby.
How Bull Bull Works
The objective of Bull Bull is to form the highest-scoring hand using 5 cards. Here is how the game proceeds at Maxim88:
- Place your bet — Before cards are dealt, you bet on the Banker or on any of three Player positions. The Bull Bull betting interface shows all active positions with their current betting totals.
- Cards are dealt — Each position (Banker plus up to 3 Players) receives 5 cards face down.
- Form a Bull — Each player attempts to group exactly 3 of their 5 cards into a combination whose face values add up to a multiple of 10. If they can, they have a "Bull" (Niu). Face cards count as 10, Aces as 1.
- Score the remaining 2 cards — The remaining 2 cards are added together, with only the units digit counting as the score. A score of 0 is a Bull Bull (Niu Niu) — the maximum.
- Showdown — All positions reveal their hands. The highest-scoring hand wins. If no group of 3 sums to a multiple of 10, the hand is "No Bull" — the lowest possible result.
Bull Bull Hand Rankings
| Hand | Condition | Standard Payout (vs Banker) |
|---|---|---|
| Bull Bull (Niu Niu) | Remaining 2-card score = 10 (units digit = 0) | 3:1 |
| Bull 9 | Remaining 2-card score = 9 | 2:1 |
| Bull 8 | Remaining 2-card score = 8 | 2:1 |
| Bull 7 | Remaining 2-card score = 7 | 1:1 |
| Bull 6 to Bull 1 | Remaining score 6 down to 1 | 1:1 |
| No Bull | Cannot form a group of 3 summing to multiple of 10 | 1:1 (loss to better hands) |
| Five Small Cards | All 5 cards have face values adding to 10 or less total | 3:1 (special rule) |
| Five Face Cards | All 5 cards are face cards (J, Q, K) | 3:1 (special rule) |
Bull Bull Betting Strategy Tips
Bull Bull is a comparison game with a significant luck component — you cannot change your cards once dealt. However, a few basic approaches can help you manage your sessions at Maxim88:
- Bet on the Banker position where the rules give the Banker a structural advantage, similar to baccarat.
- Keep individual bets at a consistent size rather than increasing aggressively after losses — Bull Bull outcomes are independent each round.
- Set a clear session budget before opening the table. Bull Bull rounds run very quickly, which can lead to rapid bankroll movement without a preset limit.
- The special hands — Five Small Cards and Five Face Cards — are rare but pay 3:1. Do not base a betting strategy around hoping for these.
