If multiple decks are used, then it is possible to have a tie, which I assume is a push.Player has 1 to 6 points in two-card hand - 1 to 1.Player has 7 to 9 points in two-card hand - 2 to 1.A 5% commission will be deducted from all wins. For the Double bet, the player shall win or lose according to the following pay table, if he bets on the correct side.I have heard some Cambodian casinos do not charge a commission, but find this a bit incredible. For the Equal bet, if the player chose the winning side, then he shall win 1 to 1, less a 5% commission*.The order of suits, from highest to lowest, is Spades > Hearts > Club >Diamond. In the event that the highest rank does not break a tie, then the highest ranking suit shall win.In the event of a tie, then the side with the highest ranking card shall win.Impossible to make zero points in the three-card hand.The more points within this range, the higher the rank. Three-card hand is zero points and the two-card hand has 1 to 9 points.Three-card hand and two-card hand are both zero points, known as a 'Niu Niu.'.Following is the ranking of hands, from highest to lowest:.The dealer shall arrange the cards to make the best hand possible in each hand.

The Player and Dealer hands shall each receive five cards.

As mentioned, the player may or may not be given the choice on which hand to bet on.

The two bets available and the Equal and Double.

As in baccarat, if a group of cards has a total point value greater than 9, then the tens digit is dropped and the point value of the hand is the terminal digit of the sum of the individual points.

Cards count the same number of points as in baccarat: aces = 1, 2-10 = pip value, face cards = zero.

I will follow those rules by how the game is played on online casinos. To avoid confusion, I will capitalize the names of bets and use lower case when referring those actually playing the game.įollowing are the rules as dealt in the land casinos in Cambodia, as I understand them. If you are familiar with the game, I welcome your comments about the game and this page in my forum at Wizard of Vegas. The rules are a bit difficult to explain, but playing the game is simple.

The word 'niu' in Chinese can be translated to cow, bull, or ox, so it is known in English as cow cow, bull bull, and ox ox. It can be played socially, in the casinos of Cambodia, and online casinos catering to Asian players. There are also variations of it in Malaysia, Vietnam, and probably other places in southeast Asia. Niu Niu is a popular gambling game in south-eastern China and Combodia.
