Sic
Bo
Sic Bo is an ancient Chinese game that is easy to learn, and
fun to play. Sic Bo literally means, dice pairs. It is similar to a popular English game known
as Grand Hazard, and the Philippino game, Hi-Lo. Players select winning numbers or combinations
of the numbers appearing on three dice. Bets are placed on one or more of the fifty possible
wagers.

At the beginning of each game you are required to place your
wagers. The wagers appear on the betting table.
- Select a chip value of either $1, $5, $10, $25, or $100.
- Click specific areas of the betting table until the number of chips
displayed equals the amount you wish to bet.
- To reduce your bet amount, right-click the betting circle to remove
chips. Your bet will be reduced by the amount of the currently selected chip.
- Click Shake Dice. The dealer rolls the dice and the
resulting dice combination is displayed. Payouts are printed on the table.
- If you are playing the instant play version of Sic Bo (Java games),
then step 4. would read "Click Roll" rather than "Click Shake Dice".
Bet
Types
The following bets can be made in Sic Bo:
| Bet type |
Definition |
| Single Number |
The bottom row of the Sic Bo table has six betting areas. These
are called Single Number bets. If one, two or three of the dice match the number bet,
you win. |
| Two Number Combinations |
Two Number Combination bets consist of placing a wager on any two
dice combinations. You can win on each instance of the two-number combination, so 6, 4,
4 would pay out twice. |
| Three Number Totals |
Three Number Totals are the total of all three dice. The less frequent
the odds of each total, the higher the payout. A result of 3 or 18 is always a loss. |
| Small or Big |
You can wager on whether the combined total of the dice roll will
be between 4-10 or 11-17. All Small and Big wagers lose if the result of the roll is a
triplet (for instance, three 5s). |
| Triplet |
You are betting that the roll will result in three dice containing
the same digit. You can also wager on all six Triplet bets at once. This is called Any
Triplet. |
| Pair |
Pair bets win when the resulting dice roll contains a pair of the
same number. Whether you have two 5s or three 5s you win only once. |
