Free table games at Springbok: learn the card tables on fun chips

Free table games at Springbok are the lobby's card tables opened with Try It! instead of Play: Teen Patti, Andar Bahar, 32 Cards, baccarat, the Caribbean poker tables and a few quick card games, each on a R1,000.00 fun balance with no account. The newer tables need WebGL, so an older or locked-down browser may stop at a “hardware” message. Fun chips never pay out.

18+. Fun chips never pay out. Bonus wagering ignores table games, so real play here means a plain deposit with no coupon, and a budget fixed first.

Which table games open in practice mode

The lobby's Table Games tab held 13 games on 9 October 2026, each tile with the same Try It! button. The blackjack tables have their own free blackjack guide, and European Roulette, filed with the specialty games, is covered in the free roulette guide. This page is about the card tables.

Logged-out lobby, 9 October 2026. “Yes” means the table showed the hardware message without WebGL. Lucky 7 and Akbar Romeo Walter house edges are Springbok's figures from its table-games article.

Teen Patti, Andar Bahar and 32 Cards need WebGL

The three newer tables are drawn with WebGL, the browser feature that hands graphics work to your device's graphics chip. Without it the table never deals and shows “Your hardware does not meet minimum system requirements”: a browser problem, not an account one.

  1. Update the browser and switch on graphics or hardware acceleration in its settings, then restart it.
  2. Try another current browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
  3. Still stuck? Open the same table on your phone.

General browser checks, not Springbok instructions; the practice mode troubleshooter covers other errors.

Rules and payouts at the three newer tables

Teen Patti

How it plays

  • Bet on which of Player A or Player B will have the better 3-card hand; single 52-card deck shuffled before every game
  • Choosing one main bet disables the other main bet area
  • Side bets: Pair Plus A, Pair Plus B and 3+3 Bonus, placed after a main bet; side bets settle independently of the main bet
  • Pair Plus pays when that player's three cards make a pair or better
  • 3+3 Bonus pays when the best five-card poker hand from both players' six cards is Three of a Kind or better
  • A tied main bet is a push and the stake is returned
  • 3-card hand ranks, high to low: Royal Flush (suited A-K-Q), Straight Flush, Three of a Kind, Straight, Flush, Pair, High Card; Ace can count low or high in a straight

Payouts

  • Player A 0.95:1
  • Player B 0.95:1
  • Pair Plus (A or B): Royal Flush 100:1, Straight Flush 40:1, Three of a Kind 30:1, Straight 5:1, Flush 4:1, Pair 1:1
  • 3+3 Bonus: Royal Flush 1000:1, Straight Flush 200:1, Four of a Kind 100:1, Full House 20:1, Flush 15:1, Straight 10:1, Three of a Kind 7:1

Table limits

R1 to R400 a round, per the sign on the table

Springbok's article lists chip values R2, R10, R20, R100 and R200 and says 'R2 being the minimum and R400 the maximum bet'.

Read on the game screen in practice mode and the in-game help page on 9 October 2026.

Andar Bahar and 32 Cards at a glance
TableHow a round worksMain bet payouts
Andar BaharA Joker card is dealt face up in the middle; bet on whether the Andar or Bahar box will be dealt the first card matching itAndar 1:1; Bahar 0.9:1
32 CardsBet on which of Player 8, 9, 10 or 11 will have the highest total; you can bet on up to three of the four players per roundPlayer 8 11:1, Player 9 4.5:1, Player 10 2.2:1 and Player 11 1:1

From each table's help page, read in practice mode on 9 October 2026. Table limits from Springbok's table-games article: Andar Bahar R1–R500, 32 Cards R1–R500, Teen Patti R1–R400.

Teen Patti's main bets and Bahar pay a shade under even money: that shortfall is how the table earns its keep. In 32 Cards only one player wins, so backing three loses at least two stakes a round.

Baccarat and the Caribbean poker tables

Baccarat

Springbok's rules summary: Six decks; Banker pays even money less 5% commission; Tie pays 9:1; R1–R500 per round. Use fun chips to see what the commission does to a winning Banker bet.

Caribbean Stud, Draw and Hold'Em

Springbok's rules summary: Single deck, R1–R100 per round; optional coin for a shared progressive: royal flush wins the jackpot, straight flush 10% of it, four of a kind R500, full house R100, flush R75; one round capped at R400,000; dealer qualifies on Ace-King (Stud), pair of 8s (Draw), pair of 4s (Hold'em). Springbok does not say whether the progressive side coin can be played with fun chips; even if it can, a fun-mode jackpot is still fun money.

BetHouse edge (Springbok's figure)
Baccarat Banker1.06%
Baccarat Player1.24%
Baccarat Tie4.93%
Caribbean Stud5.22%

Springbok says these come from the in-game rules panels (Springbok article). A lower edge means you lose more slowly on average; it never turns a game in your favour.

The spread inside one game is the lesson: baccarat's Tie bet costs several times more than Banker over a long run. No edge is published for Teen Patti, Andar Bahar or 32 Cards. This plain-English house edge guide explains what the percentages mean.

Getting real value from a fun table session

  • Try each side bet once, then decide. Watch how Pair Plus or the Andar Bahar card-count bets settle, and note which you would skip with rand.
  • Use the chip size you would really bet. Big fun stacks teach you nothing about a small real budget.

From fun chips to rand

Ready for real money?

Only after the budget. Real table play means an account, Play instead of Try It!, and a deposit with Redeem Coupon left empty, because bets on excluded games can void a bonus.

Play without a bonus

  • Open an account, pay in rand and skip the Redeem Coupon box.
  • No bonus playthrough: the T&Cs simply want each deposit played through once before you cash out.
  • Keep to the stake you practised with.

Budget first. Fix the most you are willing to lose before any deposit, and walk away once it is spent.
