Game Rules
New to the game? Don't worry — Dreams of Macao is straightforward to learn, even if you've never played baccarat-style games before. Here's a quick breakdown of how it works on 117ph.
Before the dealer begins, choose your bet amount and select your betting position — Player, Banker, or Tie. Side bets are also available for extra excitement. Minimum bet on 117ph starts at ₱100.
The live dealer draws two cards each for the Player and Banker hands. Card values follow standard baccarat rules: Aces count as 1, face cards and 10s count as 0, and all other cards count at face value.
If either hand totals 8 or 9 (a "natural"), the round ends immediately. Otherwise, a third card may be drawn based on fixed drawing rules — no decisions required from the player. The game handles it automatically.
The hand closest to a total of 9 wins. If you bet on the winning side, your payout is credited instantly to your 117ph account. Banker bets pay 0.95:1, Player bets pay 1:1, and Tie bets pay 8:1.

Pro Tips
No strategy guarantees a win — gambling always involves risk. But these tips can help you play smarter and stretch your bankroll further on 117ph.
The Banker bet has the lowest house edge at just 1.06%. Even after the 5% commission, it's statistically the best bet in Dreams of Macao. Many experienced Filipino players stick almost exclusively to Banker bets for this reason.
Decide on a session budget before you start — whether it's ₱500 or ₱5,000 — and stick to it. 117ph's responsible gaming tools let you set deposit limits directly in your account settings so you never spend more than you planned.
The Tie bet pays 8:1 and looks tempting, but its 14.36% house edge makes it one of the worst bets in any casino game. Treat it as an occasional flutter, not a core strategy — your bankroll will thank you.
Live casino games move fast and it's easy to lose track of time. Set a timer, take regular breaks, and never chase losses. If you're on a losing streak, step away — the tables on 117ph will still be there when you're ready to return.
