It is simple, colourful, and entertaining for players of all experience levels.

What is Yee Hah Hi?

Yee Hah Hi (also called "魚蝦蟹" or Fish-Prawn-Crab in Cantonese) uses three special dice, each face showing one of six symbols: fish, prawn, crab, rooster, coin, and calabash. Players bet on which symbol(s) will appear when the dice are revealed. The more dice show your symbol, the higher your payout.

How to Play Yee Hah Hi

1. Choose your symbol(s): Select one or more of the six symbols to bet on.
2. Place your bet: Wager on your chosen symbol appearing on 1, 2, or all 3 dice.
3. Dice revealed: Three symbol dice are shaken and revealed.
4. Count appearances: If your symbol appears on 1 die: pay 1:1. Two dice: pay 2:1. Three dice: pay 3:1.
5. No appearances: If your symbol does not appear on any die, your bet is lost.

Strategy Tips

Tip 1: Probability Per Symbol

Each symbol has a 1/6 chance of appearing on each die. Across three dice, the probability of your symbol appearing at least once is approximately 42%. This makes Yee Hah Hi reasonably frequent for single-symbol wins.

Tip 2: Spread Bets Across Multiple Symbols

Betting on 2-3 different symbols simultaneously increases your probability of at least one win per round. Adjust your per-symbol stake to maintain your total round budget while enjoying broader coverage.
