While Craps dominates the dice tables in Western casinos, Sic Bo holds that prestigious title throughout Asia.
It is entirely a game of pure chance, requiring absolutely no skill, strategy, or mathematical memorization.
The Basics: Three Dice and a Shaker
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.
- The game uses exactly three standard six-sided dice
- Players do not physically touch or throw the dice
- The betting layout lights up to show winning bets instantly
Small and Big Bets: The Safest Options
The "Small" bet wins if the total sum of the three dice is between 4 and 10.
Crucially, both the Small and Big bets automatically lose if any "Triple" is rolled (e.g., three 2s or three 5s).
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 Name | Winning Condition | Typical Payout |
|---|---|---|
| Big | Total is 11 to 17 (No Triples) | 1 to 1 |
| Small | Total is 4 to 10 (No Triples) | 1 to 1 |
By sticking primarily to the Big and Small bets, you can enjoy hours of entertainment with a very low house edge.
