Card games have always been close to the Filipino heart — from Pusoy nights with barkada to the manicured Baccarat tables of upscale casinos. At 718 Pub, you get all of that, on your phone or browser, with real-money stakes, live dealer options, and instant GCash payouts. Whether you're a cautious Blackjack player who counts every card or a Baccarat devotee who always bets Banker, there's a table with your name on it.
Our card game library covers both the international classics and home-grown Filipino games that you won't easily find on international platforms. Low minimums, high table limits for VIP players, and a clean interface that loads fast — this is how card games should feel online.
From the casino floor classics to Filipino card game favorites — every title at 718 Pub runs on certified RNG or live dealer feeds for a fair, authentic experience.
The reigning king of Philippine casino floors — and our most-played card game online. Bet on Player, Banker, or Tie. The rules are simple but the strategy runs deep. 718 Pub offers standard, speed, and squeeze variants with side bet options.
The classic 21 game where skill genuinely affects your odds. At 718 Pub you can split, double down, and take insurance. With basic strategy, the house edge drops below 0.5% — one of the best bets in the entire casino.
Every Filipino household knows this game. At 718 Pub, Pusoy Dos is available in multiplayer rooms where you play against real opponents. The same fast-paced, competitive card-shedding game you grew up with — now with real money at stake.
The world's most popular poker format. Two hole cards, five community cards, and the best five-card hand wins. 718 Pub offers cash tables at different stake levels and scheduled tournaments with guaranteed prize pools.
A streamlined poker variant where you and the dealer each get three cards. Fast rounds, clean outcomes, and two separate bets — Ante/Play against the dealer and a Pair Plus side bet for bonus payouts regardless of who wins the main hand.
Split 13 cards into three hands — a bottom five, middle five, and top three. Set your hands strategically to beat the dealer in all three. This longer-form Filipino favorite rewards careful thinking and rewards patient, strategic players.
The simplest card game in the casino — you and the dealer each draw one card, highest card wins. If you tie, declare War and double the pot. Great for casual players who want something quick and easy between other sessions.
Pontoon is Blackjack's close cousin with subtle but important rule differences. Getting a Pontoon (Ace + face card) pays 2:1 instead of the standard 3:2. Five-card tricks also pay 2:1. Higher variance, higher potential rewards.
One card each — Dragon vs Tiger — and the higher card wins. That's the whole game. It sounds almost too simple but Dragon Tiger has a massive following in Asia for good reason: non-stop action, fast results, and a 50/50 shot every hand.
Baccarat is the most-played casino card game in the Philippines, and for good reason. The house edge on a Banker bet is just 1.06% — one of the lowest of any casino game — which means your money lasts longer and every session feels genuinely competitive. At 718 Pub, we offer multiple Baccarat variants including Standard, Speed Baccarat, and Squeeze Baccarat where the cards are dramatically revealed one corner at a time — just like you'd experience at a high-end Makati or BGC casino.
Our Baccarat tables support road scoreboards — Big Road, Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig — so you can track patterns exactly the way seasoned Filipino Baccarat players expect. Whether you're a superstitious pattern-tracker or a pure probability player, the tools are there for both approaches.
| Bet Type | Payout | House Edge | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banker | 0.95:1 (5% commission) | 1.06% | Best value bet |
| Player | 1:1 | 1.24% | Good bet, no commission |
| Tie | 8:1 | 14.36% | High risk, avoid often |
| Banker Pair | 11:1 | 10.36% | Fun side bet |
| Player Pair | 11:1 | 10.36% | Fun side bet |
At 718 Pub, the Banker bet remains the statistically strongest choice per hand. The 5% commission is small compared to the edge advantage over the Player bet.
You don't have to explain card game culture to a Filipino. Pusoy circles form at almost every family reunion, office Christmas party, and beach getaway. Baccarat is the game of choice at casino resorts in Clark, Cebu, and Parañaque. The deck of cards has been part of Filipino social life across generations — and that context matters.
718 Pub built its card game section with that cultural context in mind. We didn't just copy the Western casino model and call it done. We specifically included Pusoy and Pusoy Dos because these are games Filipinos actually care about. We offer Baccarat with the full suite of road maps that Filipino players expect — not a stripped-down version with the tracking features removed to save screen space.
Our game minimums start low enough that you can play seriously at a ₱20 minimum — this is real gameplay, not just demo tokens. And when you win, your GCash receives your payout faster than you could drive to a land-based casino and cash out a chip.
You don't need to be a professional to play smarter. These tips apply whether you're at a ₱20 table or a VIP room.
Statistically, the Banker bet wins slightly more often than the Player bet — around 51% versus 49% when Ties are excluded. The 5% commission on Banker wins is already baked into that math. Unless you have a strong pattern-based reason, Banker is the default smart bet.
Blackjack is the one casino card game where learning the correct play for every hand situation materially lowers the house edge. Basic strategy charts are publicly available and legal to use. At 718 Pub's online Blackjack tables, you can keep the chart open in another tab while you play — no one's stopping you.
Decide your maximum loss for the session before you start. Card games can run on streaks — good and bad — and having a hard stop prevents a bad run from becoming a serious problem. 718 Pub lets you set deposit limits and session reminders in your account settings.
At 8:1 odds, the Tie bet looks tempting — but the 14.36% house edge means it pays out far less often than the displayed odds justify. Recreational players occasionally win big on Tie, but as a regular betting strategy it will drain your bankroll faster than any other bet on the Baccarat table.
718 Pub's lowest table minimums are just ₱20 — use those to try a new game variant or test a strategy without risking large amounts. Getting comfortable with the interface and rules at a low-stakes table is always smarter than jumping straight into high-limit play.
No pattern, no system, and no hot streak can change the underlying math of any casino card game. If you've hit your session budget, log out. 718 Pub's cashier tools make it easy to set hard withdrawal limits so your bankroll management decisions hold even when the temptation to keep playing is strong.
RTP tells you the percentage of wagered money returned to players over time. Higher RTP = lower house edge = better value. Here's how the card games at 718 Pub compare:

| Baccarat – Banker Bet | 98.94% | 85.64% (Tie) |
| Baccarat – Player Bet | 98.76% | 85.64% (Tie) |
| Three Card Poker (Ante/Play) | 96.63% | 92.27% (Pair+) |
| Dragon Tiger | 96.72% | 89.64% (Tie) |
| Casino War (No Surrender) | 97.09% | 94.07% |
| Texas Hold'em Poker | Skill-based – varies by play level | |
RTP figures represent theoretical long-run returns based on optimal play. Actual session results will vary.
