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.
To Play
Sic Bo Rules
Our Sic Bo
table offers the following
types of bets (from top to
bottom):
Sic Bo 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.
Sic Bo 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.
Sic Bo 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).
Sic Bo 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.
Sic Bo 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.
Sic Bo 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.
Sic Bo 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).
Sic Bo 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.
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.
Spin Starts the cage
spinning to tumble the dice.
Spin is inactive until at
least one bet has been placed
on the table.
Re-Bet Places the
same wager amounts on the
same bets as you had for the
previous Spin.
Clear Clears all wagers
from the table and returns
the amounts to your balance.
Chips Chips of various
denominations are on the table
edge. Clicking a chip sets
the value of the chip attached
to your cursor. When you left-click
on a bet spot, the cursor
will place a chip of that
value on the spot. Additional
left-clicks will add more
chips of the same value. Right-clicks
will remove chips.
Layout The table layout
shows the various bets you
can make. Left-click on a
bet spot to place chips for
a bet, right-click to remove
chips. As you mouse-over various
bet spots, a message will
appear at the bottom-center
of the control panel indicating
the bet type for that spot.
