Tongits Fight Demo Key Specifications
About The Game
Tongits Fight is a strategy-based card game where three players compete to have the lowest total score. It’s a staple at 789Bingo because it combines the classic “Perya” feel with professional digital security. Unlike other must-try games found on our poker section, success in Tongits relies heavily on your ability to read the discard pile and predict if your opponents are “Burned” (unable to form a meld).
How to Play
- The Deal: Each player gets 12 cards; the dealer gets 13.
- The Turn: Draw from the stack or the discard pile.
- Melding: Lay down sets (3-of-a-kind) or runs (straight flushes) on the table.
- The Discard: Drop one card to end your turn. You cannot discard a card that could have been added to an existing meld.
- The Victory: Win by “Tongits” (dropping all cards), “Fight” (challenging points), or having the lowest points when the deck runs out.
Rules
- Card Values: Aces are 1 point; J, Q, K are 10 points; others are face value.
- Burned Status: If you don’t lay down at least one meld before the game ends, you are “Burned” and must pay a 1x ante penalty to all winners.
- Tiebreakers: In a “Fight,” the challenger wins ties. If the challenger isn’t involved in the tie, the player next in turn order wins.
Strategy / Tips
- The Art of “Butasan”: Only call a “Fight” if your hand is below 10 points and you suspect your opponents are holding high cards like Kings or Queens. In the Tongits Fight Demo, practice “baiting” opponents into discarding cards you need for a Secret Meld.
- Secret Melds: Holding a 4-of-a-kind or a 5-card straight flush in your hand (unplayed) grants an extra 1x ante from every player.
- Track the Discards: If a player picks up from the discard pile, they are likely one card away from a “Tongits.”
- Advanced Tactics: Check the 789Bingo blog for detailed guides on “Butasan” timing.
Odds / RTP
While Tongits is a skill-based game, JDB’s digital version maintains a highly competitive environment. The 5% commission ensures a healthy ecosystem, and the verified RNG guarantees that card distribution is completely random.

FAQ
Q: What is the best strategy for the Tongits Fight Demo?
The best strategy is “Meld Protection.” In the demo, avoid laying down all your melds too early. If you keep a few cards in your hand, you can surprise opponents with a “Tongits” win, which pays double the ante compared to a standard point-count win.
Q: Can I challenge a “Butasan” if I am Burned?
No. If you have no open melds on the table, you cannot challenge or start a “Fight.” You are forced to pay the losers’ fee regardless of your points.
Q: What happens if the internet cuts out?
The 789Bingo system will take over. It will automatically play the most logical moves to protect your balance until the round ends.
