Frequently asked questions
Pak Liong hears plenty of questions from visitors who stop by his carving bench. Here are the answers to the ones that come up most.
Is Bambu Giok gambling?
No. Bambu Giok is a social casino game for entertainment. You play with free virtual coins that have no cash value. There is no way to pay money in and no way to take money or prizes out, so nothing of real value is ever at stake.
Can I cash out my coins?
No. Coins can never be cashed out, withdrawn or exchanged for money, phone credit, e-wallet balance, cryptocurrency, goods or prizes. They exist only to play Taman Giok.
Can I deposit money or make a withdrawal?
No. There are no deposits and no withdrawals of any kind, often called "depo" and "WD". If anyone asks you to transfer money to play Bambu Giok, or offers to pay out your coins, it is a scam.
Does Bambu Giok have official agents?
No. We have no agents, resellers, partners or "admins" who sell coins. Anyone claiming to be one is trying to cheat you. Please report them to us.
Can I send coins to a friend?
No. Coins cannot be sent, gifted or transferred between players. Your friend can simply open the game and start with 1,000,000 free coins of their own.
Are the coins really free?
Yes. You start with 1,000,000 coins and can claim a free refill of 1,000,000 whenever your balance drops below your bet. See the free coins page.
Why is Bambu Giok only for adults 18+?
The game uses casino-style elements such as spins, bets and multipliers. Even with no money involved, we believe this kind of game is best suited to adults who can enjoy it as light entertainment and keep it in proportion. App stores also give games that simulate gambling an adult rating.
If I win a lot here, will I win at real gambling?
No. Success in a social casino game does not imply future success at real-money gambling. Taman Giok results are random, the game is built for fun and the coins mean nothing outside it. Please never treat it as practice for anything else.
How do clusters and tumbles work?
Any group of 5 or more matching tiles touching up, down, left or right wins. Winning tiles break, new ones fall in, and each new win in the same spin climbs a ladder of x1, x2, x3 and x4. The game guide has every detail.
What are jade pearls?
Mutiara Giok, the jade pearls, can land on reels 2, 4 and 6 and carry a multiplier of x2, x3, x5, x10, x25 or x50. When a spin has won something, all pearls on the screen are added together and multiply the whole win of that spin. In free spins the pearl total keeps growing for the rest of the round. See the features page.
What does the golden dragon do?
Now and then, before the wins are counted, the golden dragon (NAGA EMAS) flies across the reels and turns one whole reel into Wild Ubin Naga Emas worth x2 or x3. It happens on about 1 base game spin in 50 and about 1 free spin in 12.
What is the Dragon Screen (LAYAR NAGA)?
On about 1 spin in 3, in the base game and in free spins, the golden dragon turns the whole screen into one and the same tile and the spin pays a fixed amount: 1x your bet for bamboo or lotus, 1.5x for crane or turtle, 2x for the gold ingot, 3x for the kirin, 5x for the phoenix and 10x for the jade dragon. It happens often, but most Dragon Screens are bamboo, lotus, crane or turtle and pay 1x or 1.5x; the higher tiles are rare. There are no tumbles, new pearls or lanterns on that spin.
What is Full Aura (AURA PENUH)?
When the total win of a spin reaches at least 25x your bet, there is a 10% chance the whole screen charges up and multiplies that win again by x2, x3 or x5. Like every other win, it only changes your virtual coin balance.
Is there a trick to call the dragon or trigger free spins?
No. Every result is drawn at random on our server. Bet size, timing, autoplay or how long you have been playing make no difference. Anyone selling "tips" for this game is not being honest with you.
Is there an Android app?
An Android app is coming to Google Play. Until then, you can play the full game in any modern browser. When it arrives, only install it from the official Google Play listing linked from this website.
What data do you collect?
Very little. A session cookie keeps your coin balance, and our servers keep basic technical logs for security. We never ask for bank, card or e-wallet details. Emails you send are used only to reply. Read the full privacy policy.
Why did my balance go back to 1,000,000?
Coins are tied to your browser session. Clearing cookies, private browsing or switching device starts a new session with a fresh balance. As coins have no value, nothing real is lost.
