Understanding The Rules Of Casino Sic Bo

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.

How the Game is Played

In land-based casinos, the three dice are housed inside a sealed glass dome and mechanically shaken by the dealer.


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 involvedOnline versions use an RNG instead of a mechanical shakerYou can place as many different bets as you wish per round
Understanding the Even-Money Bets

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.


While these bets are incredibly exciting, they come with a significantly higher house edge than the standard Big/Small wagers.
