How Da Ma Cai 1+3D works
Da Ma Cai is one of Malaysia’s three main licensed 4D operators, alongside Magnum and Sports Toto. Its main game is called 1+3D, and it plays like every Malaysian 4D game: pick a number from 0000 to 9999, bet Big or Small (or both), and stake from RM1.
Every draw produces 23 winning numbers:
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize: one number each.
- Starter prizes: 10 numbers.
- Consolation prizes: 10 numbers.
The 4D bets pay fixed odds, so a RM1 Big bet on the 1st prize number pays RM2,500 however many people backed it. On top of that, Da Ma Cai runs the 1+3D Jackpot, a pool game built on the same draw.
Big (ABC) vs Small (A): what each bet pays
Da Ma Cai labels the Big bet ABC and the Small bet A. The structure matches Magnum’s:
| Per RM1 staked | Big (ABC) | Small (A) |
|---|---|---|
| 1st prize | RM2,500 | RM3,500 |
| 2nd prize | RM1,000 | RM2,000 |
| 3rd prize | RM500 | RM1,000 |
| Starter (10 numbers) | RM180 | Not covered |
| Consolation (10 numbers) | RM60 | Not covered |
| Chance of any prize | About 1 in 435 | 1 in 3,333 |
Big catches any of the 23 numbers; Small only pays on the top three, but pays 40% more for 1st and double for 2nd and 3rd. The odds rows are our own maths: 23 or 3 winning numbers out of 10,000.
The 1+3D Jackpot explained
The 1+3D Jackpot costs RM2 per pair. You pick two 4D numbers, and the jackpot pays when both land in the right places on the same draw:
- Jackpot 1: your pair matches any two of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize numbers. Minimum RM2 million, with no upper limit. Our odds: about 1 in 16,665,000 per pair.
- Jackpot 2: one number in the top three and the other among the 10 Starter numbers. Minimum RM100,000. Our odds: about 1 in 1,666,500.
- Lower tiers: fixed prizes of RM168, RM68 and RM28.
Da Ma Cai also runs a separate 3D Jackpot with a RM600,000 minimum.
Worked example: from RM10 Big to a jackpot pair
Start with a straight bet. Say you put RM10 on 1234 for Sunday’s draw.
- RM10 Big, 1234 drawn 1st: 10 × RM2,500 = RM25,000.
- RM10 Small, 1234 drawn 1st: 10 × RM3,500 = RM35,000.
- RM10 Big, 1234 drawn as a Starter: 10 × RM180 = RM1,800. Small pays nothing here.
Now the jackpot. You buy the pair 1234 + 5678 for RM2.
- 1234 comes 1st and 5678 comes 3rd: you’ve hit Jackpot 1 and share the pool with any other winning pairs.
- 1234 comes 1st but 5678 is a Starter number: that’s Jackpot 2.
A real one: on 13 Sep 2026, Jackpot 1 paid RM16,119,422.60 in two shares, about RM8.06 million each. It’s the largest win on Da Ma Cai’s official Big Winning page.

How to play Da Ma Cai online from Malaysia
Da Ma Cai is the Malaysian operator we’ve confirmed sells online. Its official service, dmcGO, is open to non-Muslims aged 21 and over, and its terms bar anyone in Singapore. dmcGO also runs a refer-a-friend scheme worth RM5 credit per sign-up.
Many Malaysians also bet 4D inside the casino they already use. These are the brands we’ve checked:
- UWIN33: a full 4D section with results and Big/Small payout tables for Da Ma Cai 1+3D, Magnum, Sports Toto, Singapore 4D, Sabah 88, Cash Sweep and STC, from RM1. Verify your account for a RM10 free credit.
- MD88: an EKOR Lottery tab whose bet panel lists Da Ma Cai at 7:00pm. Ignore its “Lucky Hari Hari”, “9Winbox” and “Perdana” daily draws if you want official results; they’re the casino’s own games.
- GOD55: Grand Dragon 4D and QQKeno. Play with cash, since its bonuses and rebates exclude 4D and lottery.
- Maxim88: Grand Dragon 4D, QQKeno and Evolution’s Mega Ball.
- AW8: a Lottery tab with Grand Dragon 4D and a 4D rebate of up to 10%.
Casino 4D books set their own payout tables and cut-offs, so check them against Da Ma Cai’s prizes before you bet.
Picking 4D numbers
Car plates, IC digits, birthdays, temple numbers, dream books: Malaysians have a hundred ways of picking a 4D number. Enjoy it, but don’t pay for “predictions”. Every number from 0000 to 9999 has the same 1 in 10,000 chance of being 1st at every draw. Our RNG and randomness guide explains why past results don’t help.
Durian tip: If you play a jackpot pair, pick two numbers you’d also back on their own. Put RM1 Big on each alongside the RM2 pair, and a top-three hit pays out even if the jackpot doesn’t land.
4D is a game of chance. Keep a weekly limit, and see our responsible gambling page if you need help.
