Sic Bo

Sic Bo, commonly referred to as "Big and Small," is a gambling game using dice. In Sic Bo, players bet against the dealer. Before each round of betting, the dealer shakes three dice in a covered container. Once all players have placed their bets, the dealer opens the container and pays out winnings.

The most common bet is on the size of the dice points (a total of 4 to 10 is called "Small," and 11 to 17 is called "Big," excluding triples), hence it is also commonly referred to as "Betting on Big and Small" (Tai-Sai).

Game Rules

Sic Bo is an ancient Chinese dice game that was particularly popular in ancient times. Players bet on the outcome of three dice rolling in a cage. You can bet on one or multiple numbers on the table simultaneously. The game table is divided into several betting "areas," with each area representing different types of dice outcomes or combinations. At the start of the game, chips are placed anywhere on the table to represent one or more combinations of dice. Once betting is completed, the cage containing the dice will start to spin, and the result will be displayed on the screen in the upper right corner.

1. Single Number

At the bottom of the table is a row divided into six small betting areas, where you bet on which number will appear after the dice are rolled. If one of the three dice shows your chosen number, your payout is 1 to 1. If two of the three dice show your chosen number, your payout is 2 to 1. If all three dice show your chosen number, your payout is 3 to 1.

1. Two Number Combination

A two-number combination bet is a wager on the result of any two of the three dice after they are rolled. The payout ratio is 5 to 1. For example, if you bet that at least two of the three dice will show 5 or 3, and the result is 4, 3, and 5, you win 6 times your bet amount. In a two-number combination bet, you can only win for one combination; that is, if the dice show 3, 3, and 5, you will only receive the payout for one combination. If you bet on multiple two-number combinations, you will receive a payout for each combination met by the results of the three dice.

1. Total Sum of Three Numbers

In this area, you bet on the total sum of the three dice after they are rolled. If the total is 3 or 18, or if the result is odd or even, you lose automatically since there are no such combinations to bet on. Different total sums represent different odds; please see the payout list below.

1. Big or Small

If you choose to bet in this area, you are betting on the total sum of the three dice. The odds here are all 1 to 1. "Big" refers to a total sum of 11 to 17, while "Small" refers to a total sum of 4 to 10.

Regardless of whether you bet on Big or Small, if the result of the dice shows three of a kind, it is considered a loss.
