What Is DaMaCai?
DaMaCai (also known as Pan Malaysian Pools) is one of Malaysia's three licensed number forecast operators. Originally established in 1951, DaMaCai offers unique game formats including 1+3D, 3D, and 3+3D Bonus that differentiate it from Magnum and Sports Toto.
Like all Malaysian lotteries, DaMaCai games are purely luck-based. The draws use mechanical ball systems ensuring random results.
1+3D Game
DaMaCai's flagship product is the 1+3D game, which works identically to standard 4D:
- Number range: 0000 to 9999
- Winning numbers per draw: 23 (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 10 Starter, 10 Consolation)
- Bet types: Big and Small
1+3D Prize Structure (per RM1)
| Prize | Big | Small |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | RM 2,500 | RM 3,500 |
| 2nd Prize | RM 1,000 | RM 2,000 |
| 3rd Prize | RM 500 | RM 1,000 |
| Starter (×10) | RM 200 | — |
| Consolation (×10) | RM 60 | — |
3D Game
DaMaCai's unique 3D game uses only 3 digits:
- Number range: 000 to 999 (1,000 combinations)
- Winning numbers: 3 per draw (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
- Better odds: 3 in 1,000 = 0.3% chance of winning
3D Prize Structure (per RM1)
| Prize | Payout |
|---|---|
| 1st Prize | RM 660 |
| 2nd Prize | RM 330 |
| 3rd Prize | RM 165 |
Note: While 3D has better winning odds than 4D (0.3% vs 0.03%), the prizes are
proportionally smaller. The house edge remains similar across all formats.
3+3D Bonus
3+3D Bonus is DaMaCai's progressive jackpot game:
- Select two sets of 3 numbers (6 digits total)
- Match both sets against drawn numbers
- Jackpot is progressive (rolls over until won)
- Jackpot can reach millions of RM
The jackpot odds are extremely low—similar to 6-digit lotto games. Treat this purely as entertainment with very low probability of winning.
Super 1+3D Jackpot
Super 1+3D adds a jackpot component to the standard 1+3D game:
- Buy a 1+3D ticket with Super option (additional cost)
- If your number wins 1st, 2nd, or 3rd prize, you're entered into jackpot draw
- Progressive jackpot can reach many millions
Draw Schedule
DaMaCai draws are held three times per week:
- Wednesday – 7:00 PM
- Saturday – 7:00 PM
- Sunday – 7:00 PM
DaMaCai vs Magnum vs Toto
All three operators offer similar core 4D products with nearly identical odds and payouts. The main differences are:
| Feature | DaMaCai | Magnum | Toto |
|---|---|---|---|
| Core 4D | 1+3D | 4D | 4D |
| 3D Game | ✓ Yes | ✗ No | ✗ No |
| 5D Game | ✗ No | ✗ No | ✓ Yes |
| 6D Game | ✗ No | ✗ No | ✓ Yes |
| Progressive Jackpot | 3+3D, Super 1+3D | Magnum Life | 6/55, 6/58 |
Choosing between operators is purely preference—the core 4D games offer virtually identical value. Some players bet on multiple operators to increase prize eligibility.
