What is Shan Koe Mee?
Shan Koe Mee is a traditional card game that has been played across generations in Myanmar. "Koe Mee" means the highest card face wins, and the game uses one or two decks with players competing directly against the dealer.
The main goal is to get a card total of 9, or as close to 9 as possible. Face cards (Jack, Queen, King) are worth 0.5 points each, though in some rule sets all face cards count as zero. Cards numbered 1 through 9 carry their face value and are the key cards in the game.
On mm800 you can play Shan Koe Mee from anywhere — phone, tablet, or computer — making it a popular choice for evening entertainment and for those looking to earn extra income.
Step-by-step guide to playing Shan Koe Mee
Placing a Bet
Before the game starts, choose the amount you want to bet and place it for the round. You can start with a minimum of 3,000 Ks.
Dealing the Cards
The dealer and each player receive two cards face down. Players can look at their cards privately.
Counting the Score
Add the values of the two cards and take only the last digit as the score. For example — 7 + 5 = 12, so the score is 2.
Drawing a Third Card
If your score is 4 or below, you may draw a third card. If your score is 5, it is your choice whether to draw or not.
Reveal and Showdown
Both the player and dealer reveal their cards, and the one closest to 9 wins. In a tie, the dealer typically wins.
Receiving Winnings
If you win, you receive double your original bet. Withdrawals can be made via KBZPay, Wave Money, or AYA Pay and arrive within 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Card Values and Special Game Types

Card Number Value
2 to 9 cards — face value applies. 10, J, Q, K cards — worth zero points. Ace card — worth 1 point. Only the last digit of the two-card total counts as the score, so 9 is the best possible hand.

Shan Koe Mee Strategy and Tips
Manage Your Card Points
If you have a score of 6 or above, you generally do not need to draw a third card. Staying put at 6–7 is a solid decision. If your score is 4 or below, plan from the start to draw a third card.
Set a Budget Before You Play
Accept that you can lose in any single round and set a budget limit for the night. Deciding in advance to stop once that budget is gone is what lets you enjoy the game without stress.
Adjust Your Bet Size
Gradually increasing your bet during a winning streak and gradually reducing it during a losing streak is a widely used money management technique.
Try Different Approaches
Test different game styles and find a strategy that works for you. Both high-bet and low-bet options are available, so you can play in whatever way suits you best.
