What are the best gambling games originally from Asia?

[Johnzky]

Cockfighting is the best gambling games that came from Asia originally and to be exact, it came from the Philippines. Until many people are into this game and very popular too among men here.

But google says it was practiced by greeks later by persians but no one actually know where it came from,but there are some people says it might be from South east Asia.

Well what’s interesting is this game (Cockfighting)is one of the oldest animal game in the world.befoe dogfighting,horse fighting,buffalo fighting and also insect like Spider and even Bugs use to be as gambling instrument to satisfy the addiction to bet.all before this is cockfighting though in some Asian countries this is a traditional game but your right this originated in European countries

[finaleshot2016]

Cockfighting did not originate in Philippines so I don't think this is in the list.

Despite the fact that cockfighting is so popular in our country, as far as I know it did not originate here. I guess we can include the gamble of kids or sometimes adults with the spiders they caught on mountainsides since I did not heard it in other countries. Another thing is the Kara, or the other gambling games that includes coins in the streets of the Philippines.

it may not originated in the philipines but philipines is still an asian country and they love to gamble using cocks/chicken  .  the game also popular on other asian country as well as spider games like you mention or shall i say insect fights in general because there were also other insects that being used to gamble . card games also is verry popular on the asia . there are many kind of games inside the card game category  but any of these are being played every single day on our place  .

Well most of the old people here in Philippines loves cockfighting. The only thing they care about is their chicken, thinking about it all day. There's a lot of street gambling games here in our country, go to peryahan and you'll see a lot of gambling games. I used to play that spider game, buying some strong at devouring other spiders on the stick.

I think one draw is that it's far cheaper. Where I live it's half the price of a regular lotto ticket. (The various lotto games from 6/42 to 6/58 all cost the same.)

And the instant gratification part - there is a draw every 10 minutes! Lost that last game? Well, here comes the next one, try your luck some more!

If you think that it would be a good idea that there would be a draw Every 10 minutes, then you are mistaking it. I think having that kind of frequency would make someone more addicted to it or possibly prone to addiction. That's the problem with most humans; they want instant gratification and no more hardships happening. People shouldn't be that lazy.

There are classic games but not really the best games like horse racing game, cock-fighting, ending and Carnaval games which involve also money that are still being played till today but of course there are also casinos which wealthy gamblers prefer to go to.

Horse racing or chicken fighting is a classic game but many people like this kind of gambling. In every country I believe this is still their best game. Over time, new gambling will continue to emerge to replace the old best gambling.

Cock fighting originated in Asia and it became famous to locals there. Even fighting pits were build just to held a cock fighting event. Many gamblers go there and bet on their favored cock. Some rich people have farms and breed high quality roosters there  to participate into cock fighting.

Cockfighting was also very popular here at my place, a country near the Philippines, before gambling was banned. At that time, every cockfight's event would be so crowded. But frankly I do not know the origin of this game. Clearly, this game has been here for a long time.

You can see an extensive list of popular gambling games in Asia here -

AFAIK Punto Banco is very popular in Asia too, but it's a kind of Baccarat.

BTW I heard people are betting on praying mantis fights in some asian countries, could someone confirm that?

I noticed that the OP is a newbie and that aside, a female from the name, and I would like to welcome you to Bitcoin Forum and being a female member is quite impressive to have vast and industrious lady, I used the word industrious because I want to believe you are interested in gambling because you want to make money, and if I am correct, then you are at the right place with the right motive.

Back to your question, there are a lot of popular games I know from Asian but not sure which is best, i think this can only be determined by those who may have played and done comparison between them. However, you can check out PaiGow and Keno; I think this two tops the list of Asian games.

Carnival games are a popular game especially to towns or barangays that is having their fiestas. Most of the time, here in our province, weeks before our fiesta start, trucks will be arriving in our barangay and setup a place where they can place this games so people would go there every night, games like the cube, the roulette, the spin wheel, that is great games with not that big of a price but it is fun.

They almost forgot now the gambling that bases on cards, or in tiles game like mahjong. The most common is cockfighting, carnival games, and lottery gambling since this is very tempted to buy tickets if the jackpot prize is a quite big amount and make you a quick rich. Olds games are now slowly forgotten by the people because we are in the modern generation which is all people had a gadget and internet. Online casino is still a good place to go.

Well i'm pretty sure online casinos didn't originate i asia. There's a local filipino card game called tongits that i think will easily click with the rest of the gambling world given the chance. Pretty simple mechanics though i'm not sure how it will be implemented once big casinos make it available in their platforms. Also there's pusoy dos who's card heirarchy is similar to poker that can also make time pass really quick once you're playing.

[imstillthebest]

Well i'm pretty sure online casinos didn't originate i asia.

online games are too general  . you need to know if which country was the first to introduced the internet because that country is maybe responsible for the first online casino games  .

Olds games are now slowly forgotten by the people because we are in the modern generation which is all people had a gadget and internet. Online casino is still a good place to go.

thats sad but that is the truth  . people thesedays are now smart and day by day they are trying to invent a new technology that is more better than the previous one  . online casinos are good but lets not forget what we grown with  . better if we can still play those old skool games sometimes just to give respect and honor to them because without them i dont think that we can evolve like this  .

But google says it was practiced by greeks later by persians but no one actually know where it came from,but there are some people says it might be from South east Asia.

The chickenfowl originated from and was first domesticated in Asia so it's likely that Asians were cockfighting way before the Greeks and Persians. Heard cockfighting is even used in Balinese rituals.

I wouldn't say it originated from the Philippines though it was definitely one of the first thing Spanish chroniclers described they saw the natives do. And it's still a big thing in the Philippines coz the Spanish did not outlaw it and in the modern day, it's illegal in most of SE Asia except in Philippines, Thailand and Guam. I think the Islamic prohibition on gambling is what got it banned in Indonesia and Malaysia.

Yes, it was before Spanish era.

But the origin is not clearly known. Anyway, I believe that is one game that is very popular in SEA particularly in the PH.
Somebody already mentioned these games. But encountered this article though.

Well, theoretically. Most young age people now are having gadget and usually, they gamble in the online casino which is not originated in Asia. This is the truth that old games that base on Asia were diverted to modern technology gamble game which is we have a smartphone to use. Well, but here our place there are some gambling games that playing on the street like playing cards tong-its and Mahjong which is Most often the player is the adult age.

I never heard of all this gambling types until now and I am really so amazed. I have spent the whole day on research, watching YouTube videos and also looking out for related topics on the forum to learn more about this. I must admit that I am so amazed that a particular region could invent such interest game and make into money making and I am super impressed.

It is unfortunate that I belong to the new generation of gamblers and I am more familiar with online gambling but then, there are so many nice games from Asian countries and I give them kudos for this. Gambling has exposed me to a lot of things, shown me traditions I may never have known and the forum particularly has increased my knowledge. Thanks for the comment bro, I learnt something new .

[Question123]

What are the best gambling games originally from Asia?

I think the most popular gambling in Asia is the mahjong. It's almost like a dice game with some strategy in it. There is also cockfight but I don't know if it originates in Asia or maybe in Western countries.

Cockfighting and mahjong is  my country,  I think only Majhong js orignated by the continent of asia and do not know where cam from the cockfighting but every city right now in the Philippines have place for that and most of men who is legal age play that kind of gambling.
Many gambling games that from originally from asia but only Mahjong that Im really sure.

It is popular in the past but the most popular right now, as far as I know, is cockfighting that even ages ranging from 10 and above already knows the rules and how to bet in this game. These young ones even take care of their own roosters they will use to fight with other people, that is how addicted people in our country is in this game.

Yeah this is famous game my own brother had two roosters he use to take care of them and make them good tightest fighters so that he will spend them for investing money on cockfight he won many times and with this he is planning to become one of the most famous cockfighters some gamble on dog fights and insects fight as well.

I cant deny to this cockfighting popularity where there were farms who do raise up these fighting cocks for sole purpose of gambling.

It doesn't only involve typical or ordinary people yet some or majority of them are wealthy man who do involve on such gambling activity.

That's right, there's a lots of well known businessman and celebrities like Manny Pacquiao who once being involved from this gambling activities, raising Cocks and make sure that it will be extraordinary before letting it to fight, certain gamblers take a lots of time making sure that the cock will have enough vitamins and in a good health condition  before allowing it to fight and bet with a huge amount of money, this gambling activities is very popular from asia lots of people are taking part of this.

In as much I have come to the reality that this is one of Asians favorite games, it’s still kind of strange to me. Like how can a man buy, and breed cocks to use them for gambling, it’s just somehow to me really. In my country, we treat and respect animals the same way as humans, so to me, it looks that that animal is being maltreated.

Gambling is for fun and we can also make money while having fun but my question is this. What fun can we get from animals fighting themselves, that’s abuse, I feel they only use them for money and its not acceptable at all. There are so many interesting and better games out there and I expect this crap to be scrapped, sometimes I wonder how it has existed for years and also seen as a tradition.
