More Than Just Cards — Welcome to the World of Table Games at 173
What Are Table Games in the Context of This Platform?
Table Games at 173 refer to the collection of card, dice, and betting games played on a virtual table — whether against an online dealer, an automated system, or other players. Unlike slot machines that rely entirely on chance, most table games involve an element of strategy, decision-making, and learnable rules.
This collection spans games that Malaysians have known for generations — from Asian-style card games played across decades — to international favourites like poker and dice, now accessible straight from your smartphone without leaving home.
Why Table Games Draw More Players Than Slots
One key reason is that players feel more engaged. In table games, you make decisions — whether to call, raise, or fold. That sense of control delivers a different kind of satisfaction. On top of that, the return-to-player rate for many table games at 173 is statistically higher than most slot games, making them a smarter choice for players looking to get more out of their experience.
Two Things to Know Before You Start
At 173, Table Games include poker in multiple formats, Asian-style card games like Teen Patti and Dragon Tiger, dice games like Sic Bo, and online versions of Rummy and dominoes. Each game has its own rules, different bet limits, and can be played in either automated mode or with a live dealer depending on the table you choose.
To play with real money at 173, you'll need to register an account first — the process takes under three minutes and only requires a valid phone number or email address. Once registered, you can browse all available tables, check betting limits, and explore game types before making any deposit.

The Four Most Popular Table Games Among Malaysian Players
Teen Patti — The Card Game Closest to Local Culture
Teen Patti is a three-card game rooted in South Asian card-playing tradition, and it has found a very enthusiastic following among Malaysian players. Each player is dealt three cards, and the winner is whoever holds the best three-card combination. What makes Teen Patti special is its social dynamic — players need to read their opponents, decide whether to stay in ("chaal") or look at their cards ("seen"), and pick the right moment to fold. At 173, Teen Patti is available in a live version with real dealers as well as in automated format for solo sessions.
Dragon Tiger — Simple, Fast, and Perfect for Beginners
Dragon Tiger is arguably the simplest table game at 173. Just two cards are dealt — one for Dragon and one for Tiger — and all you need to do is predict which one has the higher value. No complex strategy, no rules to memorise. That makes Dragon Tiger the perfect entry point for players who want to try table games without working through a steep learning curve. The fast round speed also means you can get through plenty of rounds in a short time, giving you more chances to enjoy the game.
Sic Bo — When the Dice Decide Everything
Sic Bo is a traditional dice game popular throughout Southeast Asia. Three dice are rolled, and players bet on various possible outcome combinations — from specific totals to big/small bets (great for beginners), or exact three-number combinations (for players who want higher-stakes risk). At 173, the Sic Bo table displays a recent results history to help players spot patterns, even though each roll is statistically independent.
Rummy — The Timeless Strategy Card Game
Rummy demands more strategic thinking than most other table games. The main objective is to arrange all the cards in your hand into valid sets or sequences before your opponents do. At 173, online Rummy lets you play against other players from across Malaysia, delivering a genuinely competitive experience. It's the ideal choice for players looking for a real strategic challenge.
