Sic Bo is a table game. The table it is played on is similar to a
Roulette table where you have many places on the table to place your bets. It is
played with three dices which are used to determine the outcome of the game.
Single Number Bets
The bottom row of the Sic Bo table is divided in six betting areas. Those are
called single number bets. In this row you basically bet which numbers will be
showing up after the dices are rolled. If one of the three dices shows the
number you bet on, you win and get paid a 1:1 odd. If two numbers show up you
get 2:1 odds and if three show the odds are 3:1. For instance: You placed your
bet on the number three on the table and two of the dices show a three you get
double your stake back.
Two Number Combinations
The two number combinations offer higher odds but are harder to get. The odds
here are 6:1. This combination bet consists of placing a wager on any two dice
combinations. For instance: You bet on a one and a five. After the roll, the
dices show one, three and five 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 one, five and five you would only get paid once.
Three Number Totals
In the three number total you bet on the combined result of the
dice roll. A result of three and eighteen will always mean a loss for you.
Different results offer different odds:
Four or Seventeen offer 50:1
Five or Sixteen offer 25:1
Six or Fifteen offer 15:1
Seven or Fourteen offer 10:1
Eight or Thirteen offer 6:1
Nine or Twelve offer 5:1 and
Ten or Eleven also offer 5:1
Small or Big Wager
In this kind of bet you bet on whether the combined result of the roll will
be either between Four and Ten (small wager) or between Eleven and Seventeen
(big wager). The odds on this bet are always 1:1. If the result of the dice roll
is a triplet (i.e.: 3 - Fours) both of the wagers loose.
Triple and Pair Bets
Here you bet on those triplets mentioned above. The odds here
are of course the highest of the game. They go as high as 150:1 depending on the
house rules in the casino. Betting on a single triplet will give you the highest
odds in this game. You can also bet on all six possible triplets at once, this
is called any triplet. Or you can bet on a pair, which is obviously two dices of
the same number.
The odds are:
Triplet Bets offer 120-150:1
Any Triplet offers 25:1
Pair Bets offer 11:1
