So, without further ado, let's take a look at some of the best Asian casino games you could enjoy in the upcoming Year of the Dragon!
Play Keno at bet365 Casino
First thought to originate in Ancient China some 2,000 years ago, Keno is one of the oldest and most widely played Asian casino games in the world.
Hugely popular in both the East and West, the lotto-style game boomed in popularity in the US and Europe when Chinese immigrants brought keno to America in the 19th century.
Keno is played by selecting a series of numbers, which are then randomly called. Games available at bet365 Casino include Keno (Classic) and Keno: Age of the Gods, a progressive jackpot keno game based on the Ancient Greek theme originally started by the eponymous slots franchise.
Play Sic Bo at bet365 Casino
Also originating from China, Sic Bo is a centuries-old dice game that is available to play at bet365 Casino.
Sic Bo involves betting on the outcome of the roll of three dice. Despite its long history in Chinese culture, Sic Bo has gained popularity in online casinos around the world, making it one of Asia's most popular casino game exports.
Sic Bo games available to play at bet365 include Sic Bo, Mega Sic Bo and Sic Bo Deluxe. Sic Bo Deluxe, in particular, is a great game to try, as it is available with all the thrills that come from live action being available in bet365's award-winning live casino.
Play Mahjong at bet365 Casino
Relatively modern compared to some of the Asian casino games on our list, Mahjong grew in popularity in China throughout the mid-to-late 19th century.
Played with tiles and usually with four players, the game has been adapted for an online casino setting and is available at bet365 Casino.
With games Mahjong Jinpai and Mahjong 88 ready to play, bet365 Casino has you covered if you're looking for your Mahjong fix.
Play Teen Patti at bet365 Casino
The only game on our list that didn't originate in China is Teen Patti, an exceptionally popular card-based casino game from India.
Played all over South Asia, Teen Patti is based on the card game (and latterly, video poker game) Three Card Brag, which has strong influences from poker.
Considered a simple but social game, bet365 Casino carries Teen Patti in its live casino section. Rarely available at lots of other casinos, it's a brilliant Asian casino game ready to play right now.
