Sic Bo is a dice game found in casinos worldwide, but had its
modern origin in the casinos of Asia. It has
always been a staple game for oriental gamblers, and now its
popularity is spreading to punters of all nationalities.
With its combination of fast action and a layout of flashing
lights, Sic Bo is an exiting way to spend your casino time. With
a minimum of time spent on 'watching and learning' you can dive
right in and have a flutter.
Setup
Sic Bo is a dice game which consists of many places on the table
to place bets. Three dice are used to determine the outcome of
the betting.
Betting
The bottom row of the Sic Bo table has six betting areas. These
are called single number bets. If one of the three dice comes up
as one the numbers bet on (from 1-6), you get paid out at 1 to
1. If two numbers come up you get paid out at 2 to 1 and if
three numbers come up you get paid out at 3 to 1. So if you bet
on the number 3 and you wagered $5.00 and 2 threes came up you
would win $10.00. The two number combination bets consist of
placing a wager on any 2 dice combinations. If you wager on a 6,
4 combination and the result of the dice roll was 4, 7, 6, you
would win at 6 to 1 odds. You can only win on one instance of
the two-number combination. A three number total wager consists
of combining the total shown on the resulting dice roll.
Different totals have different odds. A result of 3 or 18 is
always a loss.
You can wager on whether the combined total of the dice roll
will be either between 4-10 or 11-17. This wager pays out at 1-1
odds. All small or big wagers lose if the result of the dice is
a triplet. Triplets are when the dice roll is all one number. So
if you wagered on three 6's and that was the dice result you
would win at 150-1 odds. You can also wager on all six triplet
bets at once, this is called "Any Triplet" and pays out at 25-1
odds. Pairs are when the resulting dice roll contains a pair of
the same number. Whether you have two fives or three fives you
still only win once and you win at odds of 11-1.
Don't worry, it's much simpler than it sounds! Next time you're
