Nine Card Game

Cards Game

The classic Philippine card game where players compete to get closest to 9!

What is Nine?

Nine is a fast-paced card game beloved by players across the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Similar in mechanics to baccarat, Nine challenges players to build a hand whose total value is as close to 9 as possible. Each round begins with the dealer distributing 9 cards to the player and 9 to themselves, creating an exciting head-to-head showdown.

The game uses standard 52-card decks where number cards retain their face value, tens and face cards count as 0, and aces count as 1. The simplicity of the rules combined with the rapid-fire pace of each round makes Nine an instant favorite among both casual players and seasoned casino enthusiasts. If you enjoy Fortune Gems 2 or other classic card games, Nine offers a refreshing alternative with its unique 9-card dealing format and straightforward objective.

At happy bingo, our Nine game is optimized for both desktop and mobile play, delivering crisp card graphics, smooth animations, and fair outcomes powered by certified random number generation technology.

Calculate Your Total

Add the values of your 9 cards. Number cards (2-9) count as their face value. Tens and face cards count as 0. Aces count as 1. The total is then taken modulo 10, giving you a score between 0 and 9.

Nine FAQ

What is the objective of Nine?

The objective of Nine is to have your total card value be closer to 9 than the dealer's total. You receive 9 cards, and the sum of their values is taken modulo 10 to produce a final score between 0 and 9. The hand closest to 9 wins the round.

How are card values calculated in Nine?

Number cards 2 through 9 are worth their face value. Tens, Jacks, Queens, and Kings are worth 0. Aces are worth 1. After adding all 9 cards, the total is reduced by modulo 10 — for example, a sum of 34 becomes 4, and a sum of 29 becomes 9.

Is Nine similar to baccarat?

Yes, Nine shares the same core principle as baccarat — getting as close to 9 as possible. However, Nine uses a unique 9-card dealing format compared to baccarat's standard two or three cards. This makes Nine more complex statistically while maintaining simple and intuitive gameplay.
