The Sic Bo table, at first glance, looks very confusing. You might think it would take years of study to learn how to play Sic Bo. In fact, the game of Sic Bo is quite simple. Just take your time, read on, and the rules of Sic Bo will soon become perfectly clear.

Rules of How to Play Sic Bo

The essential elements of the game of Sic Bo are three dice and a Sic Bo table. Each game of Sic Bo is based on a roll of the three dice. The object of the game is to bet on your prediction of the outcome of the dice roll.

To play online Sic Bo, you first select your chip size by clicking on the Plus (+) or Minus (-) button. You then place your bets by clicking on the appropriate area of the Sic Bo table layout. Note that you can place more than one Sic Bo bet on a single roll of the dice.

Once your Sic Bo bets are ready, click the Roll button. You will see the Sic Bo dice roll around and eventually come to rest. If the final outcome of the dice roll matches your bet, you have succeeded to win at Sic Bo.

The Sic Bo Bets

As you can see from the crowded Sic Bo layout, there are many possible bets you can make. These are the most common Sic Bo bets:

Small and Big: These are bets on the total sum of the three dice. Small is a bet on a total of 4 through 10; Big is a bet on a total of 11 through 17. The Small and Big bets lose if a triple appears, so if bet on Small, for example, and you roll three 2's for a total of 6, you will lose your bet.

Three-Dice Total: This is a bet on the exact total of the three dice. In this case, you can win with a triple. So a bet on a three-dice total of 6 can win with a roll of 1-1-4, 1-2-3, or 2-2-2.

Two-Dice Combination: This is a bet on the outcome of any two of the three dice. If you bet on 4 and 6, for example, you win if one die lands on 4 and another die lands on 6. It doesn't matter what the third die lands on.

Single Die: This is a bet that at least one die will land on your number. If you bet on 4, you will win if one die lands on 4, you will win more if two dice land on 4, and you will win even more than that if all three dice land on 4.

Specific Double: This is a bet that at least two of the dice will land on the number you picked, such as Double One, Double Two, etc.

Specific Triple: This is a bet that all three of the Sic Bo dice will land on the number you picked, such as three 4's.

Any Triple: This is a bet that all three dice will land on the same number, regardless of what that number happens to be.

Remember, when you play Sic Bo online, you can place multiple bets in a single Sic Bo game. In the illustration above, you can see from the location of the chips that the player bet on Double 2, Any Triple, Total 11, Total 12, Two-Dice Combination 2 and 5, Two-Dice Combination 4 and 5, and Single Die 6.

The Sic Bo rules also allow you to wager different amounts on your different bets. You can see in the illustration that the player wagered two chips on Total 11 and one chip on his other bets.

How to Win at Sic Bo

You win at Sic Bo when the outcome of the roll of the dice matches your bet. To make it easy for you to figure out, the virtual Sic Bo table lights up the areas corresponding to all the winning bets.

In the illustration above, the dice landed on 2, 5, and 5. Therefore, the following areas of the Sic Bo table layout are illuminated to signify winning bets:

Double 5

Three-Dice Total 12
Two-Dice Combination 2 and 5
Single Die 2

The payout on a winning Sic Bo bet depends on the odds associated with that particular bet. In general, the more difficult it is to win a particular bet, the higher the payout will be.

The Big and Small bets are the easiest bets to win in Sic Bo. They pay out 1 to 1.

The highest payout in Sic Bo is on a Specific Triple. A winning Specific Triple bet pays out 180 to 1. In other words, a $10 bet can win you $1,800.
