About SA Gaming
SA Gaming is one of the most widely carried Asian live casino providers in Singapore lobbies. According to its own timeline, the company behind it was set up in 2009, launched its first game lobby in 2013, and adopted the SA Gaming brand in 2014. That's more than 15 years in the business, longer than most Asian live studios.
The official site is run by SA Technology N.V., a Curaçao-registered company, which holds a Curaçao Gaming Authority B2B licence (OGL/2024/154/0133). In 2025 SA Gaming also added a National Manufacturer Licence from South Africa's Western Cape Gambling and Racing Board and a supplier licence from Peru's MINCETUR. Its games are certified by both GLI and BMM Testlabs, and in mid-2026 it announced GLI-19 certification for 12 titles for the Philippine market. SA Gaming says its studios are "located all around the world" but doesn't name the cities, so we don't either.
The core product is baccarat, built the way Asian players expect it: road maps on every table, multi-table betting, a no-commission option and plenty of side bets. SA also runs themed halls (Euro Hall, Sexy Hall, Diamond Hall and Emerald Hall) with different dealer styles and table limits.
SA Gaming Live Tables
Baccarat (Classic)
Banker pays 0.95:1 · Player 1:1 · Tie 8:1
The standard game with a 5% commission on Banker wins. SA deals six cards before betting opens, and every table shows the big road, bead road and derived roads. House edge: 1.06% on Banker, 1.24% on Player.
Speed Baccarat
Same odds · shorter betting window
Identical rules with faster rounds. Good if you want more hands per hour, but remember more hands per hour also means more expected loss per hour.
No Commission Baccarat
Banker 1:1, but only 1:2 when Banker wins on 6
No 5% commission, but a winning Banker 6 pays half. This raises the Banker house edge to about 1.46%, which is higher than the classic game, even though the payouts look simpler.
Dragon Tiger
Dragon/Tiger 1:1 · Tie 8:1
One card each, highest wins. Very fast. If the two cards tie you lose half your Dragon or Tiger bet, giving a house edge of about 3.7%. The Tie bet is around 32.8% — avoid it.
Sic Bo
Big/Small 1:1 · triples up to 180:1
Three dice in a shaker. Big and Small (lost on any triple) are the best value at about 2.8% house edge. Specific triples look tempting at 180:1 but carry an edge of around 16%. See our sic bo guide.
Roulette & Ultra Roulette
Single-zero wheel
Standard European roulette (2.7% house edge) plus Ultra Roulette, launched in 2025. Ultra adds random multipliers, which usually means straight-up numbers pay less in normal rounds — check the paytable.
Thai Hi-Lo & Pok Deng
Regional Thai games
Thai Hi-Lo is a dice game with high/low and number bets. Pok Deng is a Thai card game against the banker. Thai Hi-Lo launched in 2025, and few other providers offer either game.
Fish Prawn Crab & Xoc Dia
Vietnamese and SE Asian classics
Fish Prawn Crab (Hoo Hey How) uses three picture dice. The single-symbol bet has a house edge of about 7.9%. Xoc Dia is a Vietnamese coin-shaking game. Both are fun but generally worse odds than baccarat.
Baccarat Side Bets at SA Gaming
SA's baccarat tables offer Perfect Pair, Any Pair, Player/Banker Bonus (called Dragon Bonus), Lucky Six and Lucky Seven, with payouts up to 50x. These are fun in small amounts, but every one of them has a higher house edge than a plain Banker or Player bet. If your goal is to make your session budget last, keep side bets to a small fraction of your stake, or skip them.
House Edge on SA Gaming's Main Bets
| Game / Bet | Payout | House Edge |
|---|---|---|
| Baccarat — Banker | 0.95:1 | 1.06% |
| Baccarat — Player | 1:1 | 1.24% |
| No Commission — Banker | 1:1 (6 pays 1:2) | ~1.46% |
| Baccarat — Tie | 8:1 | 14.36% |
| Dragon Tiger — Dragon/Tiger | 1:1 (half lost on tie) | ~3.73% |
| Dragon Tiger — Tie | 8:1 | ~32.77% |
| European Roulette | Various | 2.70% |
| Sic Bo — Big/Small | 1:1 | 2.78% |
| Sic Bo — Specific Triple | 180:1 | ~16.2% |
| Fish Prawn Crab — Single | 1:1 / 2:1 / 3:1 | ~7.87% |
Standard eight-deck figures. Actual payouts can vary by table — check the paytable in the game.
Studios, Streaming & Mobile
- Multi-Bet and Quick Multi-Bet: bet across several baccarat tables from one screen. This is SA's best-loved feature among Asian players.
- Road maps and stats: every table shows the full set of roads. Roads are a record of past results, not a prediction. Each hand is independent.
- Streaming: clean, stable HD streams that hold up well on 4G. Camera work is simpler than Evolution's, but the card reveal is clear.
- Mobile: SA has had an HTML5 client since 2018 and its own app since 2019. At Singapore casinos you'll normally launch it straight from the casino's mobile site.
- Table limits: these vary by casino and hall. VIP-style halls allow much higher maximums than the standard tables.

Tips for Playing SA Gaming Live Tables
- Banker is the best standard bet, even with commission. At 1.06% it beats Player (1.24%) and the No Commission Banker (about 1.46%). "No commission" doesn't mean better odds.
- Avoid the Tie and Dragon Tiger Tie. At 8:1 they carry house edges of roughly 14% and 33%. They're the fastest way to drain a session budget.
- Treat roads as entertainment. Streaks happen in any random sequence. Following the big road doesn't change the odds of the next hand.
- Be careful with Multi-Bet. Betting four tables at once quadruples your expected loss per round. Set a total budget, not a per-table one.
- Don't chase losses with bigger bets. Martingale-style doubling hits table limits and empties a bankroll quickly. Our baccarat guide covers bankroll basics, and our responsible gambling page lists help if you need it.
