Rediscover the game that has captivated generations across Asia. Fan Tan is now available live at NX500 with professional dealers, 24/7 HD streaming, and genuinely fair odds for all Malaysian players.
Fan Tan is one of the oldest gambling games in Asia, originating from China over 2,000 years ago. Steeped in tradition and culture, it has since NX500 bringing this authentic experience directly to your screen in a modern, professional live casino format.
Unlike modern games packed with animations and complex features, Fan Tan has a beauty all its own in its simplicity. The game uses a handful of small beads or buttons, and players must predict how many will remain after being divided by four repeatedly. The answer is always 1, 2, 3, or 0 (represented as 4). Easy to grasp, yet engaging enough to keep you playing for hours.
On the NX500, Fan Tan is run by trained live dealers in a premium studio with HD video streaming. Every round is conducted physically and transparently — you can watch every dealer movement from multiple camera angles. This is not a computer game; it's real Fan Tan played by people, for people.
With an RTP reaching 98.70% for base bets, Fan Tan at NX500 offers one of the highest returns among all live casino games. This means the house edge is extremely slim — making it a smart choice for players looking to extend their sessions more efficiently.
Many Malaysian players who grew up in families familiar with traditional Chinese games will find Fan Tan instantly nostalgic. But even if you're completely new to it, NX500 ensuring your experience gets off to a smooth and enjoyable start from the very first minute.
A game that has endured for thousands of years — simple yet full of strategy
Fan Tan Betting Board
Choose your number and wait for the bead division result
Bead simulation — sample end result
The dealer randomly scoops a large portion of beads from the container and places them on the table. The exact number of beads is unknown to everyone at this stage — and that's precisely what creates the excitement and suspense!
Within the allotted time, players choose a number — 1, 2, 3 or 4 — to bet on. A range of side bet types is also available for players who want more variety. Bets can be placed from as low as RM 1 at NX500.
The dealer uses a specialised tool to push the beads aside four at a time, repeating the process until only one, two, three or four beads remain. That final count is the winning number for the round.
Players who predict the correct number have their winnings credited instantly to their NX500 account. A new round begins within seconds — the fast-paced gameplay ensures the excitement never stops.
One of the reasons Malaysian players keep coming back to the Fan Tan tables at NX500 is the variety of betting options available. While the core mechanic is simply predicting which number from 1 to 4 will remain, there are several bet types that open up broader strategies and different payouts.
| Bet Types | Brief Description | Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Fan (Single Number) | Predict the exact final number (1/2/3/4) | 1:2.85 |
| Nim (Two Numbers) | Choose two numbers — win if either one is correct | 1:0.95 |
| Kwok (Two Numbers) | Match two numbers, a variant distinct from Nim | 1:0.95 |
| Nga Tan (Three Numbers) | Choose three numbers — win if any one of them is correct | 1:0.33 |
| Odd / Even | Predict whether the result will be an odd or even number | 1:0.95 |
| SS / SB | Special bet combination — one single number + one edge | Varies |
Payouts may vary by table at NX500. Check the in-game betting board for the latest figures.

Tips from seasoned players to maximise your experience
Start with Odd/Even Bets — Ideal for Beginners
If you're new to Fan Tan, the Odd/Even bet is the best place to start. The winning odds are close to 50-50 (slightly reduced by NX500's very small house edge), letting you get a feel for the game's rhythm without taking on much risk. Once you're comfortable, try single-number bets for higher payouts.
Split Your Bet Across Two Numbers (Nim or Kwok)
A popular strategy among Malaysian Fan Tan players is the Nim bet — choosing two numbers at once. This reduces risk at the cost of a slightly lower payout. For longer, more relaxed sessions at NX500, this approach is highly effective for keeping your balance going further.
Track the Round History from Previous Results
NX500 displays a visual record of previous round results. While every Fan Tan round is statistically independent, some players use these patterns as a psychological guide for their choices. Paying close attention to the history can sometimes give you added confidence when deciding on your next bet.
Set a Session Limit Before You Start
Discipline is key in any live casino game, including Fan Tan at NX500. Before you start playing, set two important limits: a daily loss limit (the maximum amount you're willing to lose) and a win target (a satisfying amount at which you'll stop and walk away). This keeps your gaming experience both responsible and enjoyable.
