Game Rules – Quick Reference
New to a game? Here's a quick rundown of the most popular titles at BigWinPH
How to Play Tongits
Tongits is a three-player rummy-style game played with a standard 52-card deck. The goal is to get rid of all your cards by forming melds – sets (three or four cards of the same rank) or sequences (three or more consecutive cards of the same suit).
- Each player is dealt 12 cards; the dealer gets 13.
- On your turn, draw from the deck or pick up the discard, then meld and discard.
- You win by going "Tongits" – playing your last card in a meld with no discard needed.
- If nobody goes Tongits, the player with the lowest total card value at the time of a "draw" challenge wins.
- Face cards (J, Q, K) are worth 10 points; Aces are worth 1 point.
BigWinPH's Tongits tables run constantly with real Filipino players, from ₱50 minimum stakes up to ₱5,000 tables for more serious play.
How to Play Pusoy Dos
Pusoy Dos (Big Two) is a shedding-type card game for 2–4 players where the 2 of Spades is the highest single card. The objective is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards.
- Cards are ranked 3 (lowest) to 2 (highest); suits rank from Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts to Spades (highest).
- Play singles, pairs, three of a kind, straights, flushes, full houses, four of a kind, or straight flushes.
- You must play the same type of combination as the previous player, but with a higher value.
- If you cannot or choose not to beat the previous play, you pass.
- The round resets when all other players have passed and one player controls the pile.
BigWinPH offers both 4-player and heads-up Pusoy Dos formats, with flexible bet sizes to suit all bankrolls.
How to Play Blackjack
Blackjack is played against the dealer. Your goal is to get a hand value closer to 21 than the dealer's without going over (busting). Number cards are face value; face cards (J, Q, K) are worth 10; Ace is 1 or 11.
- Place your bet, then both you and the dealer receive two cards (your cards face-up, dealer has one up and one down).
- Choose to Hit (take another card), Stand (keep your hand), Double Down (double bet, take one card), or Split (split a pair into two hands).
- If your first two cards total 21 (Ace + 10-value card), you have Blackjack – pays 3:2.
- Dealer must hit on 16 or below and stand on 17 or above.
- Beat the dealer's total without busting and you win even money.
BigWinPH's Classic Blackjack tables start at ₱100 per hand. Live dealer Blackjack with HD streaming is also available.
How to Play Baccarat
Baccarat is one of the simplest card games to understand. You bet on whether the Player hand, Banker hand, or both will tie. Whoever gets closest to 9 wins.
- Cards 2–9 are face value; 10s and face cards are worth 0; Aces are worth 1.
- If a hand's total exceeds 9, only the second digit counts (e.g. 15 = 5).
- Both Player and Banker receive two cards; a third card may be drawn based on fixed rules.
- Betting on Banker pays even money minus 5% commission; Player pays even money; Tie typically pays 8:1.
BigWinPH's live Baccarat room has multiple table limits from ₱200 up to ₱100,000 per hand, with Filipino-speaking dealers on stream.
