Experience the authentic thrill of Sakong, one of Southeast Asia's most beloved traditional card games, on the dela77 platform — with fast rounds, IDR banking, and live tables available around the clock.
About Sakong
Sakong is a traditional Indonesian card game that has been a fixture in casual social gatherings across the archipelago for decades — from late-night sessions in Jakarta's residential neighborhoods to relaxed evenings in Yogyakarta and Surabaya. At its core, Sakong is a comparing card game played between a dealer (the bandar) and multiple players, using a standard 52-card deck with face cards carrying a value of zero and number cards retaining their pip value.
The objective is straightforward: each player and the dealer receive three cards, and the goal is to hold a hand whose total — calculated using only the units digit of the sum — is as close to nine as possible. A hand totaling 21, for example, counts as one (the units digit of 21). A hand of 9 or a natural three-of-a-kind is the strongest possible result. This scoring system, familiar to fans of Baccarat, gives Sakong its rapid, intuitive gameplay loop that makes it particularly well suited to the online environment.
At dela77, Sakong is available in both a virtual RNG format and a live dealer environment, where a real human dealer manages the game via HD video stream. The live format recreates the atmosphere of a physical card table — complete with the sound of shuffling decks and real-time interaction — while delivering the convenience of playing from anywhere in Indonesia on desktop or mobile.
For players across Jakarta, Bandung, Bali, and Medan who grew up watching or playing Sakong at family gatherings, the dela77 online version brings that familiar excitement into a secure, regulated digital environment. The pace is fast, the rules are transparent, and winnings in Indonesian Rupiah are settled directly to your local bank account — BCA, BRI, BNI, Mandiri, or e-wallets including OVO, DANA, and GoPay.
Each participant — player and dealer alike — receives three cards. The hand with the highest units-digit total wins. Simple to learn, yet rich with strategic nuance in the betting phase.
dela77 offers Sakong with live human dealers streamed in HD video. Chat in real time and enjoy the authentic card-table atmosphere from your phone or laptop, any time of day.
