Understanding The Rules Of Casino Sic Bo

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


However, despite the complex appearance of the betting board, Sic Bo is actually incredibly simple to play.

The Basics: Three Dice and a Shaker

Unlike craps, where a player physically throws two dice, Sic Bo utilizes exactly three dice to determine the outcome.


Players place their chips on the beautifully illuminated betting layout before the dealer activates the mechanical shaker.

The game uses exactly three standard six-sided dicePlayers do not physically touch or throw the diceThe betting layout lights up to show winning bets instantly
Small and Big Bets: The Safest Options

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.
