About Fan Tan
Ancient Chinese counting game played live. Beads divided into groups of four, bet on the remainder (1, 2, 3, or 4). Additional Nim, Kwok, and SSH bet types for more complex wagers. One of the oldest casino games brought to modern live streaming.
Fan Tan plays out in real time with a live dealer pulling cards from a deck one by one. You pick which card rank you think will come up as the 4th card removed, then watch the dealer work through the deck. The game moves at a steady pace, giving you time to see each card as it appears. You can bet on a single rank if you want to go for bigger payouts, or spread your money across multiple ranks to hit more often. The dealer manages everything on screen, so you need to place your bets and wait for the result.
The RTP sits at 97.50%, and the max win goes up to 3:1 your bet. Low volatility means a good balance of regular wins and bigger payouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 3:1 max win mean in Fan Tan, and how often can I hit it?
The 3:1 max win means your bet can return up to three times its value on a single round. You hit this payout when you bet on the correct remainder (1, 2, 3, or 4) after the beads divide into groups of four, which occurs in one of four outcomes each round.
How do the Nim, Kwok, and SSH bets work compared to the basic remainder bets?
The basic game lets you bet on which remainder (1, 2, 3, or 4) will result from dividing the beads. Nim, Kwok, and SSH are additional bet types that create more complex wagers with different payout structures, allowing you to build more varied betting strategies beyond simple remainder picks.
What does low volatility mean for my bankroll in Fan Tan?
Low volatility means wins hit more frequently but at smaller amounts relative to your bet size. This suits players who want steady returns and fewer long dry spells, though the 3:1 max win caps how much you can win on any single round.
Why is the RTP 97.50%, and what should I expect long-term?
RTP (Return to Player) of 97.50% means Evolution's game mathematics are built so that over thousands of rounds, players get back 97.50 cents per dollar wagered on average. Individual sessions vary, but this rate applies to your expected results across extended play.
Can I use strategy to improve my odds in Fan Tan, or is it pure chance?
Fan Tan is a chance game where each round's outcome (which remainder results) is independent and random. You control your bet selection and bet types, but strategy cannot change the probability that any particular remainder will appear.
