Sic Bo Description
From the ancient Chinese civilization comes a game where you predict what will turn up with the toss of the three dice. Sic Bo offers 50 different betting options and allows you to place multiple bets at once. You can bet that specific numbers will turn up, a specific pair of numbers will be rolled, a specific three of a kind will turn up and much more. You can also bet that the sum of the dice will be small (4 to 10), large (11 to 17), or a specific total. Sic Bo offers a great range of payouts – some as high As 180:1 for its most rare combinations. 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.

Sic Bo Betting 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. |
