Sic Bo Rules

Sic Bo is a table game, which is played with dice. The table it is played on is similar to a Roulette table where you have many places on the table to place your bets. After all the bets have been made, the dealer spins a small cage containing three dice, the results of which can be bet on in a number of different ways.

How to Play Sic Bo
Players place their bets on the table trying to predict the next outcome for the three dice. Multiple bets are accepted, the payoff are indicated with the bets on the game board.

There are eight different bets in Sic Bo with many variations, they are:

Single Number Bets
The bottom row of the Sic Bo table has six betting areas. These are called single number bets.
If one of the three dice comes up as one of the numbers bet on (from 1-6), you get paid out at 1-1;
If two numbers come up, you get paid out at 2-1;
If three numbers come up you get paid out at 3-1.
For instance: you placed your bet on the number three and two of the dice show a three, you get double your stake back.
Two Number Combinations
The two number combination bets in Sic Bo offer higher odds, but are considerably more rear. The odds here are 6:1. For instance: you bet on 1 and 5. After the roll, if the dice show 1, 3, and 5, you would win six times your wager. In a two number combination it is only possible to win once though, so if the result of the roll would have been 1, 5, and 5 you would only get paid once.
Three Number Totals
In Sic Bo a three number total wager consists of combining the total shown on the resulting dice roll. Different totals have different odds. A result of 3 or 18 is always a loss. The payouts in Sic Bo are as follows:
4 or 17 50-1
5 or 16 25-1
6 or 15 15-1
7 or 14 10-1
8 or 13 6-1
9 or 12 5-1
10 or 11 5-1
Small or Big Wager
You can wager on whether the combined total of the dice roll in Sic Bo will be either between 4-10 or 11-17. This wager pays out at 1-1 odds. All small or big wagers lose if the result of the dice is a triplet.
Triple and Pair Bets
Triplets in Sic Bo are when the resulting dice roll consists of all three dice containing the same number. So, if you wagered on three 6's and that was the dice result you would win at 150-1 odds. You can also wager on all six possible triplets at once, this is called "Any Triplet" and pays out at 25-1 odds. Or you can bet on a pair, which is obviously two dices of the same number.
Triplet Bets 150-1
Any Triplet 25-1
Pair Bets 11-1
