Formerly Asia Gaming — Now PlayAce at
Nova88 Casino

Live Baccarat — 10+ Variants

Baccarat is the undisputed centrepiece of PlayAce’s live catalogue and the most-played live casino game across Asia. PlayAce pioneered several formats that the industry has since widely adopted, including the six-card first-deal system — where six cards are dealt face-down before betting opens, creating a more interactive squeeze experience — and the original Bid Baccarat, where the highest-betting player earns the privilege of squeezing the cards themselves.

Standard variants available at Nova88 include Classic Baccarat with both commission and no-commission formats, Speed Baccarat with 15-second rounds for players who prefer rapid sessions, and MiCard Baccarat — PlayAce’s signature exclusive where the highest bettor controls the card reveal pace using the “Wait for Me” function. The Baccarat Grand Jackpot, one of PlayAce’s newest launches, adds nine prize pools including a six-figure Grand Jackpot with nearly 100 prize drops daily.

Every PlayAce Baccarat table at Nova88 includes a full road map system — Big Road, Bead Plate, Big Eye Road, Small Road, and Cockroach Road — updated in real time, alongside the exclusive Good Road Betting feature that lets players bet on trending patterns from other tables within the same interface.

Live Dragon Tiger

Dragon Tiger is the fastest-resolving live casino format in PlayAce’s catalogue and one of the most popular real-money games across Southeast Asia. The mechanic is elegantly minimal: one card is dealt to the Dragon position, one card to the Tiger position, and the higher card wins outright. No additional cards are drawn. No hand calculation is required. The entire round — from the opening of the betting window to the reveal — typically concludes in under 25 seconds.

This speed and simplicity makes Dragon Tiger the ideal game for players who want continuous action without the analytical overhead of Baccarat. PlayAce’s Dragon Tiger tables at Nova88 include side bet options on Tie outcomes (paying at significantly higher multipliers) and suited Ties, as well as detailed win-rate statistics by position across the most recent rounds. The interface is clean and immediate — all information a player needs is visible at a single glance without navigating sub-menus.

Xoc Dia Girls — World Exclusive

PlayAce holds the distinction of being the first software provider in the world to launch Xoc Dia as a fully produced live game show. This makes Xoc Dia Girls one of the rarest and most sought-after live casino experiences available at Nova88. The game originates from Vietnam and has been played across Southeast Asia for generations as a traditional wagering game, but PlayAce elevated it into a theatrical live dealer production hosted by professional dealers from Thailand, Vietnam, and China.

The mechanics involve four double-sided tokens — each with a red face and a white face — shaken by the host under a covered bowl. Players bet on the colour combination that will appear when the bowl is lifted: all red, all white, three red and one white, or three white and one red. The near-50/50 core bets (even or odd colour counts) offer accessible entry for new players, while the specific combination bets deliver significantly higher payouts for players willing to take on additional variance.

PlayAce’s Xoc Dia Jackpot — available across tables at Nova88 — features three jackpot pools covering a variety of side bets and boasts one of the highest win frequencies of any jackpot product in PlayAce’s catalogue, making it particularly appealing for players who want jackpot exposure during every session.

Live Sic Bo

Sic Bo is one of the most ancient dice-based gambling games still actively played today, with roots in ancient China and a dedicated following across every gambling market in Southeast Asia. PlayAce’s live Sic Bo variant features three physical dice shaken inside a sealed container by the dealer, with players betting on the outcome before the reveal. The betting board covers an exceptionally wide range of wager types: big or small (predicting whether the total of all three dice will fall between 4–10 or 11–17), specific totals, individual die values, double outcomes, triple outcomes, and combination bets.

PlayAce’s production delivers crystal-clear HD streaming of every shake and reveal, with transparent dice equipment ensuring complete visibility of each outcome as it occurs. Professional dealers manage the pace with precision, and the Nova88 platform displays the full betting board with live payout odds refreshed each round. Sic Bo’s appeal spans from casual players making straightforward big/small bets to experienced high-rollers constructing complex multi-position combinations across the board simultaneously.

Bull Bull (Dou Niu / Niuniu)

Bull Bull — known in Chinese gambling culture as Dou Niu or Niuniu — is a card game with deep roots across China and Southeast Asia, combining elements of strategic hand management, psychological reading, and a flexible multiplier structure that rewards both bold play and careful calculation. PlayAce describes the game as bringing together strategic thinking, luck, and psychological tactics in a format that is simple enough to learn quickly but layered enough to reward experience.

Each player and the dealer receive five cards. Players divide their five cards into a group of three and a group of two. If the three-card group totals a multiple of ten (creating a “niu” combination), the two-card group’s value determines the multiplier — the higher the two-card value, the larger the payout multiplier applied. Hands without a niu combination lose at a flat rate. The multiplier system creates natural variance across rounds that keeps every hand genuinely unpredictable. PlayAce’s Nova88 integration supports multi-player table formats where participants face the banker simultaneously.

Live Blackjack

PlayAce’s live Blackjack offering delivers the classic 21 format with an RTP of approximately 98% — one of the highest return rates of any live casino game type available at Nova88. Tables seat up to seven players simultaneously, with a comfortable round pace that gives players adequate time for strategic decisions. The dealer follows standard rules including standing on soft 17, and the dealing procedure is transparent throughout with a clear view of all cards.

Side bets available at PlayAce Blackjack tables include Perfect Pairs — a wager on whether the player’s first two cards will form a matching pair, with higher payouts for suited and coloured pairs — and 21+3, which pays based on whether the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s up-card form a poker-style combination such as a flush, straight, or three of a kind. Both side bets are entirely optional and independent of the main game hand, allowing conservative players to ignore them while providing additional win opportunities for players who enjoy broader wagering across each round.

Live Roulette

PlayAce’s live Roulette uses the European single-zero wheel, which gives players a more favourable house edge compared to the American double-zero format. Every spin is broadcast from a professionally equipped studio with multiple camera angles capturing the ball’s trajectory as it circles the wheel — including a dedicated overhead camera that tracks the descent into the final pocket.

The betting interface at Nova88 mirrors a standard physical Roulette layout with the full grid of inside and outside bets clearly mapped and accessible via touch or click. Players can place simultaneous bets on individual numbers, splits, streets, corners, columns, dozens, red/black, odd/even, and high/low within a single round. PlayAce’s Roulette tables include a detailed history panel showing the last 20+ results by number and colour, hot and cold number indicators, and a neighbour betting function for players who prefer sector-based wagering strategies.

Win Three Card (Golden Flower)

Win Three Card — also known as Golden Flower or San Gong — is a classic banker-versus-player card game deeply rooted in gambling traditions across Southeastern China and widely popular among Malaysian, Singaporean, and Vietnamese players. The game is played with a standard 52-card deck, and the objective is straightforward: players bet on whether their three-card hand will beat the banker’s hand based on card totals and the presence of face cards in the hand.

PlayAce’s live production of Win Three Card at Nova88 maintains the game’s traditional feel while adding the technological enhancements — HD streaming, real-time statistics, clear card display cameras — that make it fully accessible to online players encountering it for the first time. The game’s simplicity relative to Baccarat makes it an excellent entry point for players from cultural backgrounds where Golden Flower is a familiar household game, and its quick round structure makes it suitable for players who enjoy a high hand count per session.
