What is Sports Toto?

dylan nolte RSsqjpezn6o unsplash

Playing 4D online or offline is popular in Malaysia, mainly because it is simple to buy 4D and play the lottery in general. In 4D, the range of numbers people can choose from is 0000 to 9999, and gamblers win when they match their numbers with one out of twenty-three numbers drawn.

Sports Toto is one of the popular Malaysian 4D companies where gamblers can try their luck and win. Gamblers can also play Toto games through Sports Toto.

History of Sports Toto

Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn Bhd was founded and incorporated by the Malaysian government in 1969 and was focused on the commercialization of 4D or 4-Digit-based games. In 1985, the Malaysian government sold the company, in non-tender privatization, to the businessman Vincent Tan. He then merged it into his Berjaya Group.

Sports Toto is currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Berjaya Sports Toto Berhad. It also claims to be the largest operator of 4D-based games in Malaysia, with about 680 sales outlets offering a total of 7 4D games. Right now, Sports Toto Malaysia registered a 70.3% revenue growth despite a lower number of draws in the current quarter, mainly thanks to better sales from its games, resulting in higher accumulated jackpot prizes during the festive period of February 2022.

Hong Leong Investment Bank believes that the claiming of Sports Toto’s record-breaking 6/58 jackpot worth about RM98 million is instrumental in the improved earnings for 3QFY22 or third quarter of the financial year 2022.

Different Play Types

Sports Toto offers 4D, 5D, and 6D and their play types are generally similar wherever applicable. The minimum bet ranges from RM1 to RM2, depending on the game.

Standard Play

Standard Play is the basic method where gamblers pick a 4-digit, 5-digit, 6-digit number, or six numbers ranging from 1-50, 1-55, or 1-58.

i-Perm or Insurance Permutation Play

i-Perm gives gamblers more chances to win with smaller bets by covering all the permutations of their 4D or 5D number. In 4D games, gamblers can buy 4, 6, 12, and 24 permutations of their 4D number, with each permutation set costing RM1. In 5D games, gamblers can buy 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 120 permutations, with each permutation set costing RM1.

Roll Play

Roll play gives gamblers the option to manually select 3 digits and roll 1 digit, allowing for 10 different 4D numbers. Bettors have two options for Roll Play:

  • Roll 1 – allows the gambler to roll the first digit of their 4D number and manually select the last 3 digits. An example is 0123, 2123, 1123, 4123, 6123, 5123, 7123, 8123, 9123, and 3123.
  • Roll 4 – allows the gambler to roll the last digit of their 4D number and manually select the first 3 digits. An example is 2231, 2232, 2233, 2234, 2235, 2236, 2237, 2238, 2239.

The Roll Play is only applicable to 4D Toto.

System Play

System Play is only available in 4D Toto Jackpot, Supreme Toto 6/58, Power Toto 6/55, and Star Toto 6/50.

System Play allows gamblers to have the system generate a random 4D number for the gambler. In 4D Toto Jackpot, the System Play is only usable when gamblers have more than 2 sets of 4D numbers. In Supreme Toto 6/58, Power Toto 6/55, and Star Toto 6/50, gamblers must have a minimum of seven 4D numbers and a maximum of 15 4D numbers. This type of play allows bettors to cover all permutations of their numbers. The cost varies per Toto game.

i-System Play

When gamblers have more than 10 sets of standard 4D numbers for 4D Toto Jackpot, they can go for i-System Play. This play allows gamblers to cover all combinations of their 4D straight bets. The minimum sets for i-System are 10 sets of 4D numbers, and the maximum is 20 sets.

EZ – Bet Play

The EZ – Bet gives gamblers more chances to win their bets. Like System and i-System, all the permutations of the gambler’s chosen numbers will be covered. Bettors will need to select at least nine numbers from 01 to 50, 55, or 58, depending on the Toto they’ll play to play System 9. Gamblers can play from System 9 to System 15. The cost varies per Toto game.

Different Sports Toto Games

Sports Toto offers the following 4D and Toto games:

4D Toto

4D Toto is the original 4-digit game where people can place standard, insurance permutation, and roll plays. Gamblers must then choose whether to bet on Big, Small, or both.
