Shan Koe Mee Hand Rankings & Point Values
Points are calculated by summing card face values and taking the modulo 10 remainder (Aces = 1, 2-9 = Face, 10/J/Q/K = 0). A total of 9 is the highest standard hand (ကိုး).
Beyond basic point values, identical suit combinations create devastating multipliers that multiply banker payouts up to 5 times.
| Hand Type | Burmese Term | Multiplier | Winning Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nine (Natural) | ကိုး (9) | 1x – 3x | 7♠ + 2♠ (Double Flush 9) |
| Eight (Natural) | ရှစ် (8) | 1x – 3x | 5♥ + 3♥ (Double Flush 8) |
| Three of a Kind | တွဲ (Same Rank) | 5x Payout | 4♦ + 4♣ + 4♠ (Total 2, 5x) |
| Three Flush | ၃ ဒေါင်း (Same Suit) | 3x Payout | A♣ + 3♣ + 4♣ (Total 8, 3x) |
| Two Flush | ၂ ဒေါင်း (2 Suited) | 2x Payout | 6♦ + 3♦ (Total 9, 2x) |
The Role of the Banker (ဒိုင်) vs Player (ထိုးသား)
The banker faces every active seat at the table. Winning as banker with a 3x multiplier collects triple payouts from all losing players, offering massive profit potential.
Table bankrolls are protected by escrow safeguards ensuring all winning players are settled automatically upon round completion.
