How to Play Sic Bo

Sic Bo involves the rolling of three dice. The dealer shakes them after players make wagers. There are dozens of wagers on the table that involve combination of dice and point totals. The best wagers at Sic Bo are 4-10 and 11-17 if it pays even money. That has a house edge of 2.78%.

Most bets on the Sic Bo table have a house edge of over 20%. Some run into the 45% range. We highly recommend avoiding this game for that reason. You’re better off playing penny slots, keno for real money, or even Venetian’s awful Triple Zero Roulette than making most of the bets at a Sic Bo table.

The layout of a sic bo table

Sic bo (骰寶), also known as tai sai (大細), dai siu (大小), big and small or hi-lo, is an unequal game of chance of ancient Chinese origin played with three dice. Grand hazard and chuck-a-luck are variants, both of English origin. The literal meaning of sic bo is 'precious dice', while dai siu and dai sai mean 'big [or] small'.

Sic bo is a casino game, popular in Asia and widely played (as dai siu) in casinos in Macau. It is played in the Philippines as hi-lo.^[1] It was introduced to the United States by Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century, and can now be found in most American casinos. Since 2002, it can be played legally in licensed casinos in the United Kingdom.

Gameplay involves betting that a certain condition (e.g. that all three dice will roll the same) will be satisfied by a roll of the dice.^[2]

Gameplay[edit]

Players place their bets on certain areas of the table as shown in the picture above. The dealer then picks up a small chest containing the dice, which he/she closes and shakes. Finally the dealer opens the chest to reveal the combination.

Comparison to craps[edit]

Sic bo is one of two casino games involving dice, the other being craps. Sic bo is strictly a game of chance because every roll on the dice results a win or loss on any bet. In craps, some bets require certain rolls before they can become winning or losing bets, thus encouraging strategy.
