Sic Bo, known
by some as Tai Sai, is an ancient Chinese game of chance.
It may have originally used a pair of dice shaken between
a plate and an overturned bowl, but today it commonly
has 3 dice in a cage for tumbling. Extremely popular
in Asian cultures, this exciting, engaging game is winning
new converts in many casinos around the world.
Sic Bo is easy
to play. The object is to pick the numbers or combinations
that will appear on the dice when they come to rest
after tumbling. There are 50 different ways to place
bets, so you have plenty of choices with a range of
payouts - some as high as 180-to-1.

Bet
Options
Our Sic Bo table offers the following types of bets (from
top to bottom):
Small Bet (Under 11)
Small bets win when the point total
of the three dice is between 4 and 10 (also expressed
as "Under 11"). The payout is 1-to-1 unless there is
a low Triple (Triple 1s, 2s or 3s), in which case the
Small bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations
of the three dice that add up to point totals under
11, and only 3 of them are Triples.
Specific Double
To win a Specific Double bet, two
of the three dice must show the Double you select. The
payout is 10-to-1. There are six Specific Double bets
you can make (and you can place bets on any or all of
them for any spin). If the third dice also matches the
Specific Double number (in other words, when the result
is a Triple), the Specific Double bet still wins.
Specific Triple
To win a Specific Triple bet, all
three of the dice must show the Specific Triple you
select. The payout is 180-to-1. There are six Specific
Triple bets you can make (and you can place bets on
any or all of them for any spin).
Any Triple
To win the Any Triple bet, all three
of the dice must show the same number, but it can be
any of the six possible numbers. This bet wins on any
triple result. The payout is 30-to-1.
Big Bet (Over 10)
Big bets win when the point total
of the three dice is between 11 and 17 (also expressed
as "Over 10"). The payout is 1:1 unless there is a high
Triple (Triple 4s, 5s or 6s), in which case the Big
bet loses. There are 108 possible combinations of the
three dice that add up to point totals over 10, and
only 3 of them are Triples.
Specific Total
To win a Specific Total bet, all three
of the dice must add up to the Specific Total you select.
The payout varies depending on the total selected, from
6-to-1 to 60-to-1 (as indicated in the table layout
and the payout table below). There are fourteen Specific
Total bets you can make: totals of 4 through 17 (and
you can place bets on any or all of them for any spin).
For any given spin, only one of the fourteen totals
can win.
Pair Match
To win a Pair Match bet, two of the
three of the dice must make the pair selected. The payout
is 5-to-1 on each pair. There are fifteen Pair Match
bets you can make (and you can place bets on any or
all of them for any spin). Note that for a result with
three singles (for example: 1, 4, 5), three of the Pair
Match bets will win (in this example: 1&4, 1&5
and 4&5).
Numbers Bet
If you place a wager on any of the
six numbered boxes in the "Numbers Bet" area at the
bottom of the table layout (the largest die labeled
one, two, three, four, five, or six) you will win according
to how many of the three dice come up with the selected
number.

Single) |
1:1 |
| 2 of 3 (a
Double) |
2:1 |
| 3 of 3 (a
Triple) |
10:1 |
Thus, if all
three dice come up 4, any wager on the Number 4 die
bet would pay 10-to-1. You can bet on as many individual
Numbers as you like.
