Sic Bo Overview
 Sic
Bo is a popular table game that originated in Ancient China
and means 'dice pair'.
Despite its name, however, Sic Bo is actually
played with three dice where you can place bets based on the
outcome of the rolled dice. It is similar to roulette except
that dice replace the spinning wheel.
As such, Sic Bo is very easy to understand and to play and
highly entertaining. The great thing about Sic Bo is that is has
become extremely popular in online casinos all over the world and not just in Asia
where its roots are.
Sic Bo Betting
A standard Sic Bo table has many different betting areas. The
bottom row on the table contains six betting areas which are
known as 'Single
Number Bets'.
You can place a bet on any or all of these six areas.
If your
chosen number comes up in a single dice, you'll get paid out 1
to 1 on your bet. If your number appears on two die, you'll get
paid out 2 to 1, and 3 to 1 if your number appears on all three
die. For instance, say you bet R5 on number '6' and all three
dice show a 6, you'll win R15.
The next betting row contains what are known as 'Two
Number Combination Bets'
such as '1 and 2, 3 and 5, 4 and 6 etc. Say two of the die show
1 and 2, you'll get paid out 6 to 1 on your bet. With this bet,
however, you'll only be paid out on one of your two number
combination bets, regardless of whether you have bet and made
more than one winning combination.
Then there is a row that contains 14 'Number
Total Bets'
which as their name suggests, pays out when you correctly
predict the sum of the numbers displayed on all three die. Each
number pays out different odds. For instance, if you bet on 17
and the dice come up 6, 5 and 6, you'll be paid out 60 to 1. If
you bet on 9 and the die come up 1, 2 and 6, you'll only be paid
out 6 to 1 on your bet.
Next up are 'Small
Bets' which
are numbers 4 to 10 and pay out 1 to 1 on your bet. You lose if
any triplet appears (three of a kind). Similarly 'Big
Bets' are
numbers from 11 to 17 and also pay out 1 to 1. You also lose
here if a triplet appears.
With 'Double
Bets', you
can bet on pairs of doubles with a payout of 10 to 1 on your
bet. When it comes to 'Triplet
Bets', you
can bet on the likelihood of any particular triplet coming up
and you'll be paid out 180 to 1 on your bet if you guess
correctly. Finally, you can bet on 'Any
Triplet'
where you'll be paid out 30 to 1 if any triple combination
appears.
