Fan Tan is a live casino counting game where a dealer covers a random number of buttons, divides the remainder by four, and the result — 1, 2, 3 or 4 — decides the round. You can bet on the exact remainder, on two numbers sharing a line, or on three-number combinations, each carrying distinct odds and a house edge determined by which bet type you choose.
HOW THE GAME WORKS
Fan Tan Round Flow, Rules and Bet Structure
Each Fan Tan round starts with the dealer placing a large, random handful of small buttons — or beads, depending on the table variant — under a metal cup on the felt. Once bets are placed and the timer closes, the cup is lifted and the dealer uses a thin wand to sweep the buttons into rows of four.
When fewer than a full row remain, that leftover count — always 1, 2, 3, or 4 — is the round result. A remainder of 4 and a remainder of 0 are treated the same way: both count as 4. That single rule catches out a lot of first-time players, so confirm it at whichever table you join on 949t.
The betting grid is what sets experienced Fan Tan players apart from beginners. You can go narrow with a Tan bet — a straight pick on one number — or spread across two adjacent numbers with a Kwok, or cover three numbers with a Sheh or Nga Tan variant.
Each choice shifts the payout and the house edge, so understanding them before the timer counts down is worth the few minutes it takes.
Tan Bet
Pick a single number: 1, 2, 3 or 4. This is the highest-payout option but also the narrowest coverage. A winning Tan typically pays 3 to 1 after the house commission, so confirm the exact rate at your chosen table.
Kwok Bet
A two-number line bet covering adjacent pairs such as 1-2 or 3-4. The payout is roughly even money, minus commission. Lower variance than Tan and a sensible starting point when you're learning the timer rhythm.
Sheh Sam Hong
Covers three numbers, leaving one as the losing outcome. The payout is less than 1 to 1 after commission, but winning frequency is high — three chances out of four. Useful for steady rounds when you know the table speed.
Nim Bet
A Nim combines a Tan selection with a Kwok safety net, covering one number at full odds and another at reduced odds in a single wager. Check whether your table supports this combined format before planning around it.
BETTING MECHANICS DETAIL
Fan Tan Gameplay Conditions to Check First
Before you place your first chip in a Fan Tan round, there are four things worth confirming at the specific table you've picked. Not every live Fan Tan table follows identical rules — commission rates, bet-type availability and timer length can all vary by studio and by the provider running the stream.
Knowing what to look for before the countdown clock starts saves a bad surprise when the buttons are swept.
Commission Structure
Most Fan Tan tables charge a 5% commission on Tan wins, which brings the true payout to 2.85 to 1. Confirm the commission rate shown in the table info panel before choosing your bet size.
Betting Timer Length
Live Fan Tan rounds run on a countdown. Timers typically sit between 15 and 30 seconds. Shorter timers suit players who already know the grid; longer timers give you room to read the history board and adjust.
Result History Board
The table sidebar usually shows the last 20 to 50 results. Fan Tan is an independent-event game — past results don't predict future ones — but the board helps you track which numbers have appeared least recently if you prefer pattern-based staking.
Mobile Table Layout
On a phone screen, the Fan Tan grid compresses to a tap-friendly format. Check that all four Tan positions and the Kwok lines are accessible without zooming; a well-optimised mobile table keeps every bet type reachable in one tap.
GAME TRANSPARENCY
Fan Tan at a Glance
Fan Tan runs as a live-dealer game streamed to your phone or desktop. The core mechanic — dividing a random bead count by four — keeps the outcome independent each round. Below are the key parameters to check before you place your first bet on 949t.
Game Type
Live dealer counting game. A dealer draws beads from a cup, covers a pile, then removes groups of four until one, two, three or four remain — that remainder is the result.
House Edge and RTP
Straight Tan bets carry a 5% commission on wins. SS, Kwok and Nga Tim bets have different commission structures; always verify the specific table's posted commission before betting.
Volatility and Round Speed
Low-to-medium volatility. Rounds run roughly 30–40 seconds including the betting timer. Bet early — once the dealer announces 'no more bets', wagers are locked and cannot be changed.
Supported Devices and Region
Fully playable on Android and iOS without a separate download. Players in Barishal reach the live table in seconds via mobile browser. Access is subject to Bangladesh eligibility conditions.

FAIRNESS AND RULES
Fan Tan Rules, Fairness and Stakes
Every Fan Tan round on 949t is dealt by a live human dealer on camera. The bead draw is physical and random — no RNG overlay. Results are recorded and reviewable in your round history. Check the table information panel before joining to confirm commission rates and stake limits for that specific stream.
Physical Deal, No RNG
The dealer physically draws beads from a cup and divides them by hand. The result is a count, not a computer-generated number — the camera angle lets you verify each division yourself.
Commission Structure
Tan bets typically carry a 5% commission deducted from wins. Nga Tim and Kwok bets are paid at even money on a narrower range; their commission terms vary by table — read the info panel.
Stake Limits Per Table
Minimum and maximum bet sizes differ across Fan Tan tables. Higher-limit tables stream separately from entry-level tables. Check the lobby filter to find a table that fits your Taka budget.
Round History and Audit
Each settled round carries a unique ID stored in your account history. If a result is disputed, 949t support can retrieve the full video and bet record for that round ID.
FAN TAN TERMS
Fan Tan Glossary for New Players
Before you sit at a Fan Tan table on 949t, it helps to know the words the dealer and interface use. These definitions cover the core terms — from how beads are counted to how each betting position pays out. Get these down and the round flow becomes immediately clear.
- What is the 'Tan' in Fan Tan?
- The Tan is the final count of beads left after the dealer divides the pile into groups of four. The Tan value — one, two, three or zero — decides all winning bets for that round.Example: If 17 beads remain, dividing by four leaves a Tan of one, so Tan 1 bets win.
- What does 'Kwok' mean in Fan Tan betting?
- A Kwok is a two-number combination bet. You back two adjacent Tan values simultaneously. It pays out at roughly even money minus a small house commission when either of your two numbers is the winning Tan.Example: A Kwok bet on 1 and 2 wins if the final Tan is either 1 or 2.
- What is a 'Nim' bet?
- Nim is a three-number bet in Fan Tan. You cover three of the four possible Tan outcomes. The payout is lower than a straight Tan bet because your winning probability is much higher at three out of four.Example: Placing a Nim on 1, 2 and 3 means only a Tan of 4 would make you lose.
- What does 'Ssh' or 'Sheh' mean on the betting layout?
- Ssh is a two-number bet similar to Kwok but covering non-adjacent Tan values. It still pays close to even money minus house commission when either chosen number matches the final Tan result.Example: An Ssh on 1 and 3 wins if the Tan lands on 1 or 3, skipping 2 and 4.
- What is the Fan Tan house commission?
- Fan Tan tables charge a small commission — typically around 5% — deducted from winning payouts. This is how the house edge is built in, rather than through fixed odds like standard table games.Example: A winning Tan bet of 100 Taka at 3:1 odds would return roughly 285 Taka after the 5% commission.
- What does RTP mean for Fan Tan?
- RTP stands for Return to Player. It is the theoretical percentage of total wagers a game returns to players over many rounds. A higher RTP means lower house edge across your session.Example: An RTP of 95% on a Tan bet means the house edge on that position is roughly 5% over time.
ROUND MECHANICS FAQ
Fan Tan Questions Players Actually Ask
If you're new to Fan Tan or switching to it from baccarat or roulette, these are the questions that come up most. Each answer goes straight to the mechanic or rule — no filler. Check these before your first real-money round at 949t.
How exactly does a Fan Tan round work on 949t?
The dealer scoops a random pile of small beads or buttons from a bowl and covers them. Bets are placed on Tan 1, 2, 3 or 4. The dealer then removes beads four at a time until the final group of one to four remains — that count is the winning Tan. The whole process is shown live on camera so you can follow every step.
Which Fan Tan bet gives the best odds?
All four straight Tan bets carry the same house edge because each outcome is equally likely. The edge comes from the 5% commission on winnings, not from any structural difference between Tan 1, 2, 3 or 4. Nim and Kwok bets simply trade payout size for higher win frequency — the underlying commission rate stays consistent.
Can I bet on more than one Tan number at the same time?
Yes. You can place straight Tan bets on multiple numbers in a single round, and you can mix bet types — for example, combining a Kwok on adjacent numbers with a straight Tan on a third number. Each position is settled independently when the Tan result is confirmed.
How long does each Fan Tan round take?
A typical live Fan Tan round runs about 30 to 45 seconds from bead scooping to result confirmation. A betting timer counts down on screen so you know exactly when bets close. If you miss the window, you can watch the current round resolve and join the next one.
Is Fan Tan different from standard roulette or baccarat in terms of strategy?
Fan Tan has no skill-based decisions like blackjack splitting or baccarat side bets. Every round resets independently — past Tan results do not influence the next. The main strategic choice is which bet type to use: straight Tan for higher payout, Nim for lower risk per round, or Kwok for a middle ground between the two.
Do mobile players in Bangladesh see the full Fan Tan table on a small screen?
The Fan Tan table layout scales for mobile. Players in Rajshahi or anywhere else in Bangladesh can see the bead-counting area, the betting grid and the timer clearly on a standard Android screen. The bead removal is shown in a close-up camera angle specifically for mobile viewers, so you do not miss the count.
