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.

chips on the edge of the table.

seconds. When they come to rest, the results will be shown

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.
| Matching Number |
Payout |
| 1 of 3 (a 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.
