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 Basics: Three Dice and a Shaker
The dealer simply presses a button, the floor of the dome vibrates violently, and the three dice settle on random numbers.
Players place their chips on the beautifully illuminated betting layout before the dealer activates the mechanical shaker.
The pace of play is generally very fast and excitingIt is heavily featured in Asian-themed online live casinosPayouts vary wildly depending on the specific probability of the bet
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).
Betting on Specific Combinations
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.
