Game Materials
- Three Dice
- A Sic Bo Table with a special betting area
Rules of the Game

- Small: The total score of the three dice is between 4 and 10.
- Big: The total score of the three dice is between 11 and 17.
- Exact Total: Betting on a specific total of the three dice betwen 4 and 17.
- Triple (All Three Dice the Same): All three dice show the same number.
- Any Triple: Any combination where all three dice show the same number.
- Double (Two Dice the Same): Two of the three dice show the same number.
-
Single Number Bet: A specific number appears on at least one of the dice.
-
Rolling the Dice: The dealer or a mechanical dice shaker rolls the three dice.
-
Evaluation and Payout: The outcomes of the dice are revealed and all winning bets are paid according to a payout table. For example, betting on a Triple generally has high payouts due to the lower probability of occurrence.
Strategy Tips
-
Risks and Rewards: Since most bets offer simple payouts relative to their probabilities, it is wise to familiarize yourself with the odds of each bet to place informed bets.
-
Balance between Risk and Security: Bets on Big or Small have a relatively high probability of winning but offer lower payouts compared to bets on Triple or Exact Total.
Special Rules
- For bets on Small or Big, a Triple will lose the bet, even if the total is within the betting range. For example, a Triple of threes results in a total of 9, but because it is a Triple, a Small bet loses.
Conclusion
Sic Bo is a game of chance, with a wide variety of betting options that make it exciting for both new and experienced players. Play responsibly and set a personal betting limit in advance!
