Fan Tan
Fan Tan is a traditional gambling game originating from southern China, particularly popular in Guangdong and Guangxi regions. This game has a long history, with some saying it can be traced back to the Qing Dynasty. Its name comes from "Guangtan," but since there was only one type of gameplay called "Fan" at the time, it became known as "Fan Tan."
The gameplay is simple, full of luck and randomness, making it a favorite among many players.
Fan Tan Game Rules:
At the start of the game, the dealer randomly picks a handful of 300 beads and covers them with an bowl.
Players can place their bets on different bet types.
The dealer then arranges the beads in rows of four. The number of beads left in the final row (between 1 and 4) determines the result of the game.
The outcome will show whether the player has won or lost.
