Sic
Bo is a Chinese word for "dice pair". The
game itself originates in ancient China. In
spite of the name, three dice are used in
the game. The idea of the game is simple –
you make a bet on a certain kind of a dice
roll result. Then the dice are rolled. If
the result you bet on does appear, you win;
if it does not, you lose your bet.
You may place multiple bets at the same
time. You can identify the different bet
areas on the table by placing the cursor on
an area and reading the info text on the
status bar (the low edge of the screen).
Sic Bo features the following betting
options:
Small/Big Bet:
Status bar info text on these areas is
"Small" or "Big". Small Bet wins if the
total sum of the three dice is 4 to 10. Big
Bet wins on a total of 11 to 18. Neither
Small nor Big Bet wins if the three dice are
of the same number (three of a kind). The
Small and Big Bet payoff ratio is 1 to 1.
Number Bet:
Placing a number bet means you want a
specific number to appear on as many dice as
possible. Select a number from 1 to 6 and
place your chip(s) on the corresponding
area. Status bar info text for these areas
is "One", "Two", "Three", etc. If the chosen
number appears 1 time your bet pays 1 to 1,
if it appears 2 times your bet pays 2 to 1
and if it appears 3 to 1 your bet pays 3 to
1.
Pair Bet:
Make a bet on any of the 15 possible two
dice combinations (for example 3 and 4; 2
and 5 or 2 and 6). Status bar info text for
these bets is "Pair". If both numbers
appear, your bet pays 5 to 1.
Total Bet:
Placing a total bet means you want the total
sum of the three dice to be a certain
amount. Possible totals are from 4 to 17. 3
and 18 (which are also possible with three
dice) are excluded. Status bar info text for
these bet areas is "Total of 4", "Total of
5", "Total of 6", etc.
Double Bet:
You bet on a specific pair to appear (for
example, two 3's). Status bar info text for
these areas is "Double One", "Double Two",
"Double Three", etc. If at least two of the
number chosen appear, you win 10 to 1.
Triple Bet:
You bet on a specific triple to appear (for
example, three 2's). Status bar info text
for there areas is "Triple One", "Triple
Two", "Triple Three", etc. If the chosen
triple appears, you win 180 to 1.

number (any three of a kind). Status bar
