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.

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.

Cockfighting is more than a gambling game. It is the business for those who are fond of cock fighting business. They rise all these cock and make them ready for this cock fighting events. The people who are playing this are mostly from backwards area of Asian region and maybe be cruel in nature who can see the blood only for some entertainment.

But generally, cockfighting was really a gambling game. You can consider the fighting areas their business section like in the casinos where people gathered to do the gambling. Well, it's a culture and nothing is wrong with that because since after death, people butcher the chickens to offer, isn't it bloody right?

What I really like the most among Asian gambling games is Pusoy as we call it here in our country but in English terms it is called Chinese Poker. It is same with the usual Texas Holdem Poker but the difference is that there has no 5 set of cards on the table (including the River and Turn). You will be just given 13 cards in total and it's already up to your strategy on how you build your card (like the usual builds in poker such as straight, flush etc.). I really love this game because it enteratins me a lot and able to earn somehow though I'm not a hustler .

Ps: Sorry for my porr explanation but you can further know the mechanics of the game here or play the actual game. Enjoy!

Although this may be completely different, traditional, and unorthodox, I consider small spiders fighting as one of the memorable gambling games which I believe, started in Asia. I guess that only a handful of people know what I am talking about but I do encourage everyone to watch videos and learn more about that kind of gambling. I also do hope that the practice still exists maybe in the local streets?

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.

Exactly, horse racing is too much popular racing game in Asia, most of the richest people and business man play it, the reason the horses are very expensive, recently my boss bought a racing horse from abroad and its price is $49730.
And about cock-fighting, it is most famous game in Asian village areas, most of the framers play it with a big bet and for this game they take-care their cocks very well with good food and diet.

Cock fighting is one of the famous gambling game at Asia. Here in the Philippines they even have cock-fighting pits where cock breeders and betters go when a cock-fighting event will happen. Some rich people even bet $1k just for that event and breeders also spend tons of money to raise their fighters well.

[kaya11]

This somehow intrigues me, as I don't even know the history of the games that I am playing so far in the gambling sites. If I liked the game I would definitely play it again even though it's origin is unknown. Even the dice game I like the most is unknown to on what country it came from. I am asian so I will be proud if there are lots of games that are in the gambling industry especially in crypto that came from asian countries.

As far i know cockfighting only famous in the several countries such as philipine or thailand but most of other countries didn't play this gambling game and they were also famous in Mexico and possibly cockfighting not originally from Asia although i could not find the exact source about it but in this case i prefer to choose mahjong because this game is so popular even outside asia

I'm not sure if it was originally from Asia but yes, it is popular here and probably one of the gambling games that the rich indulge in.

Not to mention breeders from the US actually come the Philippines to sell their cocks and businessmen from Asian countries where it is illegal like Malaysia come to play.

Not to mention it's a big industry, with all the feeds and vitamin manufacturers and that city governments earn tax from the cockpits.

Ening games is popular gambling from phillipines those people basketball fantastics, Correct me if Im wrong the most commin popular gambling games origanally herein the phillipines is cards games like pusoy tongits including the cara y cross.

Yes, it is true that it is mostly played in the Philippines. Tong-Its is a 3 Players card game where only 3 players can play. The two players in Tong-Its will receive 12 random cards and the third player will receive 13 cards where the player who have 13 cards is the first one to Dump a card. It is random on which person will get 13 cards and when the game is finish then the winner will be the one who will start with 13 cards. It's a good game and I always play Tong-Its in my mobile phones.
Pusoy or Pusoy Dos (Filipino Poker) is also called or also known as sikitcha or chikicha or chakicha by some Filipinos. Pusoy/Pusoy Dos and Tong-Its are the two card games that are widely played in the Philippines.

By the way, the spelling of Philippines is not double L because it's double p. I am sure you're also from Philippines.

Maybe for familiarity and also for being proud if Op is Asian because this tells history and also legacy from those people who originated these games as well.

Actually being an Asian it’s just recently that I’ve learn some gambling’s that originated from our country and also those countries near to mine with the help of this thread

I believe that if you will just back read the answer like this has been an argument because cockfighting as the history says did not came first in Asia instead in European country instead but ofcourse we as Asian cannot believe this

There is no need to know about the history and origin of games to play for it only the rules of the games is enough but if there is a game from your country then you should proud of it.There are many athletic games and casino games were origin from Asia over the centuries.

Some people do want to know the origin of games. If you are fond of playing new and old gambling games and have a lot interest in them, you would also like to know from where the game originated etc. Many traditional games like cock fighting, bull fighting have a lot of history with them and have interesting stories on how and when they started.

In disagreeing on one because this is something we must be proud and actually I’m thankful about this thread for highlighting the games coming and originating in every part of Asia,and I think this can be edited to WORLD wide origins of every gambling game

it only the rules of the games is enough but if there is a game from your country then you should proud of it.There are many athletic games and casino games were origin from Asia over the centuries.

Exactly because ASIA is one of the oldest continent in the world that’s why many games was invented and the origins is ASIA

I feel Asians are better with awkward games, so you should not compare a country that deals with technology, and almost all games are online based to a country that keeps on promoting weird games. I am always surprised on how a game like cock fighting can be so celebrated among the Asians and this is really funny.

I am a great fan of adventure and I like to try out things but cock fighting is one thing I would never do, it seems to me like an abuse on the animals and in my country it’s an offense. Knowing that is a country’s most famous and most celebrated game is something that pisses me off and I will not be wrong to say that Asians have the worst kind of games.

I am sure you are not very familiar with Asian games, you probably only heard of cockfight and it gave you reasons to dislike them, the game is actually very interesting, though I have never been where it is played but I have seen a video clip and I found it quite interesting. No wonder they say, one man’s food is another man’s poison.

It might not be suitable for you because of your cultural believe but that is not a good reason to write it off, or speak ill of the game. The players and those from the region enjoy their game and that is the most important thing.

Moreover, Asians are blessed with so many beautiful and interesting games both online and offline and the best of them all is Baccarat and paigow.

I am not sure how do you differentiate between awkward or weird games with the normal games ?
If you think cockfighting is a wired game what about the bull fighting game which is played in west also. There are many games which are popular in certain regions whether it be Asian region or any other part of the world.

Lets just respect on what other countries culture they do have.It might turn out to be an animal abuse to others but this is how thing goes to these Asian countries.

They do love to bet or make gambling with animal fights,sounds to harsh but these are livestocks specially with cockfighting.There are lots of games originated into this countries but not really popular enough to be known globally.

Yeah thats true, in my country in asian of course, gambling is still very often with animals fight. if you often see fights between sheep in the television, showing the sheep clashing head each other, sit's definitely happening in my country. sheep are pitted here and become gambling materials and even a spectacle show that attracts many people.
