A popular game where players pick a number from 0000 to 9999. During the draw, 23 winning numbers are picked, and if one of the numbers matches the one you picked, you win. It offers multiple winning chances and thrills with its simplicity and straightforward gameplay.

How to Play

There are 5 different ways to engage in this 4D gaming. You can venture into the Standard Bet category, where a Big Bet could potentially net you a prize from one of 23 winning combinations, encompassing the top three, along with numerous lucky and consolation prizes. For a more narrowed focus, a Small Bet puts you in the running exclusively for the top three prized positions, increasing the stakes and the excitement.

Taking a step further into complexity, the System Bet, also known as Pau, allows bets on all possible permutations of a 4D number, amplifying the anticipation with each draw. Meanwhile, i-PLAY stands as a simpler alternative, permitting bets on multiple permutations for a nominal fee of RM1.00. 

You can try out the 4D Roll that lets you swap a digit with ‘R’, representing any number from 0 to 9, effectively giving you ten chances to win. And for those who prefer a gamble without the guesswork, the Quick Pick option lets the computer select a random 4D number for you, offering an easy entry point into the world of 4D gaming.

Another betting option is the System Bet, also known as Pau, and bet on all the potential arrangements of your chosen 3D number, like 567 which translates to six different bets: 567, 576, 657, 675, 765, and 756.
