Niu Niu, also called Bull Bull, is a fast Chinese card game popular in live and crypto casinos. You try to form a 'bull' from your cards and beat the banker. This guide explains the rules. Payouts are shown in the game.
- You get five cards and try to form a group of three totalling a multiple of ten (a 'bull'), with the remaining two cards determining your score.
- Niu Niu is the best hand, when three cards total a multiple of ten and the remaining two also total a multiple of ten.
- It is mostly a fast game of chance.
The objective
Each player and the banker receive five cards. The aim is to split them into a group of three that totals a multiple of ten (the 'bull') and a remaining two whose value determines your score.
Forming a bull
Picture cards and tens count as ten; other cards count their face value. If any three of your five cards total a multiple of ten, you have a bull; the last two cards, totalled and reduced to a single digit, are your points.
Comparing hands
Your hand is compared with the banker's, and the higher score wins. Higher 'niu' values beat lower ones, with bonus payouts for strong hands shown in the paytable.
A fast game of chance
Niu Niu is quick and mostly luck, which suits live and crypto play. For similar fast card games, see Andar Bahar and Teen Patti; set a budget and play responsibly.
