Sic
Bo, known by some as Tai Sai, is an ancient Chinese game of chance. It
may have originally used a pair of dice shaken between a plate and an
overturned
bowl, but today it commonly has 3 dice in a cage for tumbling.
Extremely
popular in Asian cultures, this exciting, engaging game is winning new
converts in many casinos around the world.
Sic Bo is easy
to play. The object is to pick the numbers or combinations that will
appear
on the dice when they come to rest after tumbling. There are 50
different
ways to place bets, so you have plenty of choices with a range of
payouts
– some as high as 180-to-1.

Bet Options
Our Sic Bo table offers the following
types of bets (from top to bottom):
Small Bet (Under 11)
Small bets win when the point total
of the three dice is between 4 and 10 (also expressed as "Under 11").
The
payout is 1-to-1 unless there is a low Triple (Triple 1s, 2s or 3s), in
which case the Small bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations of
the three dice that add up to point totals under 11, and only 3 of them
are Triples.
Specific Double
To win a Specific Double bet, two
of the three dice must show the Double you select. The payout is
10-to-1.
There are six Specific Double bets you can make (and you can place bets
on any or all of them for any spin). If the third dice also matches the
Specific Double number (in other words, when the result is a Triple),
the
Specific Double bet still wins.
Specific Triple
To win a Specific Triple bet, all
three of the dice must show the Specific Triple you select. The payout
is 180-to-1. There are six Specific Triple bets you can make (and you
can
place bets on any or all of them for any spin).
Any Triple
To win the Any Triple bet, all three
of the dice must show the same number, but it can be any of the six
possible
numbers. This bet wins on any triple result. The payout is 30-to-1.
Big Bet (Over 10)
Big bets win when the point total
of the three dice is between 11 and 17 (also expressed as "Over 10").
The
payout is 1:1 unless there is a high Triple (Triple 4s, 5s or 6s), in
which
case the Big bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations of the
three
dice that add up to point totals over 10, and only 3 of them are
Triples.
Specific Total
To win a Specific Total bet, all
three of the dice must add up to the Specific Total you select. The
payout
varies depending on the total selected, from 6-to-1 to 60-to-1 (as
indicated
in the table layout and the payout table below). There are fourteen
Specific
Total bets you can make: totals of 4 through 17 (and you can place bets
on any or all of them for any spin). For any given spin, only one of
the
fourteen totals can win.
Pair Match
To win a Pair Match bet, two of
the three of the dice must make the pair selected. The payout is 5-to-1
on each pair. There are fifteen Pair Match bets you can make (and you
can
place bets on any or all of them for any spin). Note that for a result
with three singles (for example: 1, 4, 5), three of the Pair Match bets
will win (in this example: 1&4, 1&5 and 4&5).
Numbers Bet
If you place a wager on any of the
six numbered boxes in the "Numbers Bet" area at the bottom of the table
layout (the largest die labeled one, two, three, four, five, or six)
you
will win according to how many of the three dice come up with the
selected
number.

Payout |
1 of 3 (a Single) |
1:1 |
2 of 3 (a Double) |
2:1 |
3 of 3 (a Triple) |
10:1 |
Thus, if all three dice come up 4,
any wager on the Number 4 die bet would pay 10-to-1. You can bet on as
many individual Numbers as you like.
