While Craps dominates the dice tables in Western casinos, Sic Bo holds that prestigious title throughout Asia.
If you can understand basic roulette betting, you can easily master the thrilling game of Sic Bo in minutes.
The Core Mechanics of Sic Bo
In land-based casinos, the three dice are housed inside a sealed glass dome and mechanically shaken by the dealer.
Once the dice settle, the winning areas on the table light up brightly, and payouts are distributed accordingly.
- 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.
Exploring High-Risk Proposition Bets
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.
| Wager | Probability | House Edge |
|---|
| Specific Double | Low | 18.52% |
| Specific Triple | Extremely Low | 16.20% |
By sticking primarily to the Big and Small bets, you can enjoy hours of entertainment with a very low house edge.
