While Craps dominates the dice tables in Western casinos, Sic Bo holds that prestigious title throughout Asia.
However, despite the complex appearance of the betting board, Sic Bo is actually incredibly simple to play.
The Core Mechanics of Sic Bo
Unlike craps, where a player physically throws two dice, Sic Bo utilizes exactly three dice to determine the outcome.
The objective of the entire game is merely to predict the exact outcome or combination shown on those three dice.
- It is a pure game of chance with zero skill involved
- Online versions use an RNG instead of a mechanical shaker
- You can place as many different bets as you wish per round
The Best Bets for Sic Bo Beginners
The "Small" bet wins if the total sum of the three dice is between 4 and 10.
Conversely, the "Big" bet wins if the total sum of the three dice falls between 11 and 17.
Chasing Massive Sic Bo Payouts
The probability of this happening is incredibly low, so the casino rewards you with a massive payout of 180 to 1.
You can also bet on specific two-dice combinations, single numbers appearing, or exact specific total sums.
| Bet Type | Example | Payout Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Any Triple | 1-1-1, 2-2-2, etc. | 30 to 1 |
| Specific Total | Total sum equals exactly 10 | 6 to 1 |
It perfectly combines the raw luck of the dice with the simple, elegant betting structure of classic roulette.
