About the Game
Pusoy — also called Filipino Poker or Chikicha — is one of the most-loved card games across the Philippines. Whether you grew up playing it during family reunions in Pampanga, long barrio nights in Ilocos, or summer breaks in Davao, the game probably already feels like second nature to you.
The premise is clean and satisfying: each of four players receives 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck. You then arrange those 13 cards into three hands — a 3-card "front hand," a 5-card "middle hand," and a 5-card "back hand." The back hand must be the strongest, followed by the middle, then the front. Get the arrangement wrong and you "foul" — that costs you, big time.
At JillGames, we've taken that classic setup and made it even more exciting with smooth online tables, fair play guarantees, and prize pools that grow every hour. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just learning the ranks, there's a seat at the table for you here.
JillGames keeps the spirit of Filipino card culture alive online.
Night markets, card games, big prizes — classic Filipino fun, now on JillGames.
How to Play
New to online Pusoy? No worries. Here's how the whole thing works from sign-up to first win.
Head to the Register page and sign up in under two minutes. No hidden fees, no complicated forms. JillGames keeps it simple so you spend less time filling in forms and more time playing cards.
Top up using GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins.ph, or any BDO, BPI, or UnionBank online transfer. InstaPay and PESONet are also supported. Minimum deposit is only ₱50 — sulit na talaga.
Browse tables by stake level — from ₱5 casual tables perfect for beginners to high-roller rooms with pots that go up to ₱100,000 per round. There's always a table matching your bankroll and skill level.
You'll have a set amount of time to split your 13 cards into your front (3 cards), middle (5 cards), and back (5 cards) hands. Drag and drop on desktop or tap-to-swap on mobile — it's that intuitive.
Once all players lock in their hands, cards are revealed. Each of your three hands is compared against the corresponding hand of every opponent. Win more hands, collect more chips. Simple math, deep strategy.
Know Your Hands
Memorise these and you're already ahead of half the table. JillGames follows standard Pusoy Dos hand rankings — the same ones Filipinos have been using for generations.
| Rank | Hand Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| #1 | Royal Flush | A, K, Q, J, 10 of the same suit. Rarest hand in the game. |
| #2 | Straight Flush | Five consecutive cards of the same suit. |
| #3 | Four of a Kind | Four cards sharing the same rank. |
| #4 | Full House | Three of a kind plus a pair — solid and reliable. |
| #5 | Flush | Five cards of the same suit, not in sequence. |
| #6 | Straight | Five consecutive cards of mixed suits. |
| #7 | Three of a Kind | Three cards of the same rank. |
| #8 | Two Pair | Two different pairs in one hand. |
| #9 | One Pair | A single pair with three unrelated cards. |
| #10 | High Card | No combination — highest card determines rank. |
Remember: your back hand must always outrank your middle hand, and your middle must always outrank your front hand. A foul means automatic loss.

Pro Tips
Winning at Pusoy isn't just luck — it's card reading, hand arrangement, and a bit of psychology. Here are some real strategies used by JillGames top players that you can start applying today.
Start your arrangement from the back hand. Put your strongest combination there — a Flush, Full House, or better — then work backwards. Never sacrifice your back hand trying to boost your front.
A fouled hand is an automatic loss against all three opponents. When in doubt, err on the safe side — a weak but valid arrangement is always better than a foul. JillGames tracks your foul rate, so pros can spot who's rushing.
A pair of Aces or Kings in your front hand can win all three comparisons against an opponent (a "sweep"), doubling or even tripling your payout. Don't waste high pairs on the back when you can dominate the front.
JillGames gives you enough time per round to think things through. Players who rush their arrangement make more foul errors. A second look before you lock in often reveals a better split you initially missed.
Every hand is a new chance to win at JillGames — strategy makes the difference.
