» About
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.

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.

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.
