 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.

| 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.
