If you are Chinese you probably know the casino game of Sic-Bo quite well but if you are Irish you have probably never heard of it. Sic Bo is still played in casinos in the Far East and because many players can take part at the same time it can be quite noisy and busy but online sic bo can be as quiet as you like. Sic Bo is a fast moving dice game which involves no more than predicting the outcome of three dice by placing a bet or bets on specific segments of a table in a similar fashion to roulette. The table will at first seem quite complex but in actual fact there are only seven types of bet possible. Full instructions can be found in our casino game rules section including a full description of the table but in brief if you thrown three dice each one can result in anything from 1 to 6 which means that the smallest total of the three dice is three and the maximum is 18 and the first possible bet is big or small which is more than 11 through 17 or four through ten but be careful because three of a kind will not win this bet. The second Sic Bo bet is a wager that two of the three dice will be the same or in other words a pair; you can bet on any pair between 1 and 6 coming up. In a similar way there are 6 possible triples meaning that all three dice show the same number. You can bet on each of these 1 through 6 or for triples you can also bet that any triple comes up. Another bet is to forecast the exact total of the three dice which can be anything between 4 and 17 (3 and 18 are excluded as these are separate bets being triples). The next sic bo bet is on any combination of two dice such as a 1 and a 5 or a 3 and a 2 and to win both numbers need to come up. Lastly you can simply bet on any one number being thrown (1 through 6), you win if any of the thrown dice shows that number but you can win at better odds if two or even three of the thrown dice show your chosen number. What is difficult to describe briefly is in fact a very simple game that you will soon get the hang of. Play free sic bo for a few minutes and you will be surprised how quickly you pick it up.
