Fish Prawn Crab on NTC33: Betting on the Dice

Fish Prawn Crab on NTC33 isn't a slot at all. It's a digital version of the dice game many Malaysian players know from Chinese New Year gatherings, where you bet on which pictures will come up when the dice are rolled.

How a round of Fish Prawn Crab runs

A round follows the same steps every time:

1. At the start, the dealer picks up the dice and places them on the plate.
2. You place your bets on the betting layout.
3. Once all bets are in, the dealer takes the dice and rolls them in the bowl.
4. The pictures that land face up decide which bets win.

Each die carries pictures instead of dots, and you win by backing a picture that shows. The more dice that show your picture, the better the bet pays.

The birdcage variant

There is also a closely related version. Its payouts are similar to Fish Prawn Crab, but there are two main differences: it uses the standard number of dice and adds two extra bets, high and low.

In that version, the dice tumble inside a metal cage that looks like a birdcage, which is where the game's other name comes from.

Playing Fish Prawn Crab on NTC33

Every roll is independent, so a picture that hasn't come up for a while isn't "due". Spread-betting on many pictures feels safer but mostly just returns your own stake with the house edge taken out. Choose a stake per round, set a limit, and treat it like the festive game it is.
