Anubis City is free online poker for Malaysia: Texas Hold’em with real people, plus blackjack, roulette, bingo and slots, in a pixel-art Egyptian city that runs in the browser. The coins on the table are debens, and they are free. There is no stake, nothing to buy and nothing to win outside the game.

Malaysia’s gambling laws are among the strictest in the region. There is one licensed casino, at Genting Highlands; lotteries and number forecasts are licensed separately; online betting is illegal, and gambling sites are blocked. Anubis City has no betting of any kind — no stake, no prize, no money.

For many Muslim players, gambling is forbidden by faith whatever the stakes. Whether a free card game with no money in it is acceptable is a personal question, and we won’t pretend to answer it for you.
