More than just ordinary poker — Side Bet City at 1meter brings a whole new dimension to live card games with its unique side bet system, where every hand dealt has the potential to deliver extraordinary multiplied winnings!
Side Bet City is one of the most innovative and distinctive live casino games you will find on the 1meter. The name might sound like a city straight out of an action movie, but it's actually a live poker game reimagined in a highly creative way — where the "side bet" concept takes centre stage, rather than the poker hand itself.
In a standard poker game, you bet on who holds the best hand. But in Side Bet City at 1meter, the format is far more exciting. The dealer deals out three sets of poker hands — one 3-card hand, one 5-card hand and one 7-card hand. Players do not compete against one another; instead, you place side bets on whether each of those hands will produce a strong poker combination or not. The stronger the poker combination formed — from a Straight all the way up to a Royal Flush — the bigger the multiplier you receive!
The beauty of Side Bet City lies in the fact that every player at the table has an equal chance of winning. There is no concept of "losing to another player" as in conventional poker — everyone wins or loses based on the strength of the card combinations dealt by the dealer. This creates a completely different atmosphere at the Side Bet City table: everyone cheers together when a Royal Flush lands, because it means all players with a bet on that hand will receive a 1000x multiplier!
Platform 1meter streams every Side Bet City round live in crisp HD. A professional dealer draws cards from a clearly visible dealing shoe — no mystery, no tricks. Every card revealed is a moment of pure suspense, especially when you're waiting on that fifth or seventh card to complete the hand you're hoping for. This is what makes Side Bet City at 1meter as a game that's incredibly hard to stop once you've started!
For players already familiar with poker at land-based casinos, Side Bet City at 1meter will feel refreshing and genuinely exciting. For players who have never touched poker before, Side Bet City is the perfect starting point — because you don't need to know how to play poker competitively; you simply need to understand hand rankings from the weakest combination to the strongest.

The 1meter platform offers the most complete and most rewarding Side Bet City experience in Malaysia.
Four simple steps to start enjoying the most unique live poker experience in Malaysia!
Side Bet City is a game that blends luck and strategy in a uniquely compelling way. While the card combinations that appear are random and depend on the deck order, there are smart approaches you can take to maximise your chances and ensure every ringgit you put in delivers the most value. Here are tips gathered from experienced players within the 1meter Malaysia:
Before you start playing Side Bet City at 1meter with real money, make sure you have a solid grasp of poker hand rankings — from the weakest Pair all the way up to the Royal Flush. This matters because every round requires you to make quick decisions about whether to keep your bet or use the Fold option. If you're unsure of the value of the hand taking shape, the free demo mode at 1meter is the best place to practise with absolutely no pressure.
Many new players at 1meter making the mistake of placing bets on all three hands (3-card, 5-card and 7-card) simultaneously with equal stake amounts. While this does create more winning opportunities, it also means your losses can multiply in rounds that don't produce strong combinations. A smarter approach is to choose one hand for a larger primary bet — typically the 7-card hand, as it offers the best odds of hitting the minimum qualifying combination (Pair of Jacks or better) — and place smaller side bets on the remaining hands.
One of the most valuable features of Side Bet City at 1meter is the "Fold All" option, which lets you fold all active bets when a hand looks unlikely to pay out. Use this feature wisely — when the first few cards are already open and it's clear that no winning combination is forming, it's better to fold and save that stake for the next round. Never "hope for a miracle" when the logic of the game is already telling you the hand won't win.
One of the most dangerous situations in Side Bet City at 1meter is when you hit several exceptionally good rounds in a row — say, two or three Full Houses or Straight Flushes within a short span. In these situations, many players are tempted to drastically increase their bet size, hoping the hot streak will continue. Remember: every round is independent and random. Keep your bet size consistent regardless of previous round patterns.
Platform 1meter displays a live record of recent hand results that you can use as a light reference point. While this is by no means a guarantee, seeing how often strong hands like a Full House or Straight Flush have appeared within a given timeframe can give you a rough sense of the table's current "temperature". Use this information as one factor in your betting decisions — not as your sole guide.
This is the advice most frequently repeated by the 1meter and our loyal player community: before you sit down at a Side Bet City table, set two clear limits for yourself — a maximum loss limit (how much you're willing to lose) and a win target that will prompt you to stop and walk away. For example, buy in with RM 500, and stop when you've lost RM 500 or when your net winnings reach RM 1,500. Stick to both limits without exception. This is the foundation of responsible and meaningful play.
One unique feature of Side Bet City at 1meter is the sense of community that naturally forms at the table — especially when a strong hand like a Royal Flush is within reach. Every player holds their breath together and erupts when that final card flips. It's an atmosphere you'll rarely find in any other Live Casino game. Take advantage of the live chat feature at the table to connect with players from across Malaysia — from Kota Bharu, Kuching, Johor Bahru and Penang — in a lively, welcoming community.
Most importantly — Side Bet City is entertainment. Enjoy every moment of suspense as the cards are revealed one by one, celebrate together when a Royal Flush lands, and always play responsibly with 1meter. For more information on responsible gaming, please visit our Responsible Gaming ours.
