Live poker brings the thrill of a real casino directly to your screen. In 2026, Malaysian players at 96M can sit at HD-streamed poker tables hosted by professional dealers, place bets in real time and experience the atmosphere of a land-based card room without leaving home. Whether you prefer Texas Hold'em, Casino Hold'em or exotic variants like Caribbean Stud, live poker delivers an authentic experience that standard RNG games simply cannot match.
Live poker online is a format where a real human dealer manages the cards and the game from a professional studio. The action is streamed to your device via high-definition video, and you interact through a digital interface — placing bets, making decisions and chatting with the dealer in real time. Every card is physically dealt, every shuffle is visible, and the results are determined by genuine gameplay rather than a random number generator.
At 96M, live poker tables run around the clock, staffed by trained dealers who keep the game moving at a comfortable pace. Tables are available at a range of stakes so both casual players and high rollers can find a seat that suits their bankroll.
96M offers several live poker variants, each with its own rules, pace and strategy. Here are the four main games you'll find in the live lobby:
The most popular poker game in the world, played against other players with a live dealer managing the board. You receive two hole cards and combine them with five community cards to make the best five-card hand. Bet across four rounds — pre-flop, flop, turn and river — with the strongest hand taking the pot.
A house-banked version of Texas Hold'em where you play directly against the dealer rather than other players. You and the dealer each receive two hole cards, and five community cards are dealt. Place an ante bet, decide whether to call or fold after the flop, and beat the dealer's hand to win. Side bets like the AA bonus add extra excitement.
A fast-paced variant where both you and the dealer receive just three cards. There are no community cards and no drawing rounds — you simply decide to play or fold after seeing your hand. The simplified format makes it ideal for beginners, while the Pair Plus side bet offers payouts up to 40:1 for premium hands.
A five-card poker game played against the house. You receive five cards face down and the dealer shows one card. Decide whether to raise or fold based on your hand strength. A progressive jackpot side bet gives you a shot at a massive payout if you hit a Royal Flush or Straight Flush.
Both live dealer poker and RNG (random number generator) poker are available at 96M, but they offer very different experiences. The table below highlights the main differences to help you choose the format that suits your playing style.
