Understanding the Rules of Casino Sic Bo

While Craps dominates the dice tables in Western casinos, Sic Bo holds that prestigious title throughout Asia.

If you can understand basic roulette betting, you can easily master the thrilling game of Sic Bo in minutes.

How the Game is Played

In land-based casinos, the three dice are housed inside a sealed glass dome and mechanically shaken by the dealer.

Once the dice settle, the winning areas on the table light up brightly, and payouts are distributed accordingly.

• The game uses exactly three standard six-sided dice
• Players do not physically touch or throw the dice
• The betting layout lights up to show winning bets instantly

Understanding the Even-Money Bets

These are the fundamental even-money bets of Sic Bo, very similar to betting Red or Black in European roulette.

Crucially, both the Small and Big bets automatically lose if any “Triple” is rolled (e.g., three 2s or three 5s).

Betting on Specific Combinations

The probability of this happening is incredibly low, so the casino rewards you with a massive payout of 180 to 1.

You can also bet on specific two-dice combinations, single numbers appearing, or exact specific total sums.

It perfectly combines the raw luck of the dice with the simple, elegant betting structure of classic roulette.
