I came across a new game yesterday at a live dealer casino that caters to Asian players. It is called Belangkai in Malay, which translates to King Crab. It is a simple game using a spinner with four sides, with a different symbol on each one. The player bets on which symbol will be on top after a spin. Please click the link for all the rules and analysis. As always, I welcome questions, comments, and especially corrections.

The question for the poll is would you play King Crab? Multiple votes allowed.

Does anyone offer player banking for this game? Can you bet against a symbol(s) appearing? Is the sequence of symbols around the "spinner" the same in every casino, like the numbers on a roulette wheel? i.e., does the "fish" always appear opposite the "flower", or can they sometimes be found next to each other?

This game seems really easy, and really difficult at the same time =P. I'd imagine because the images less the commission up front instead of just saying 2-1 or 3-1, etc. I would have thought the game had a higher house edge though. Are there any videos of the game as examples? Eh, youtube has some samples... Yeah seems simple enough.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

Not that I know of.

You could accomplish that by betting on every other symbol.

The most difficult to understand easy game I've ever seen is Casino War, currently on Field Trial at the Gold Coast.

At :26 the video of the bowl lid flashes off and on. Seems sketchy. This game seems extremely easy to gaff with an electromagnet, and or a trap door on the bottom of the "bowl".
