One of the games which you may easily find at every online casino today is Sic Bo. It is an Asian game, which is translated as small and big or hi-lo. Sic Bo online is not so popular as slot machines, for example, but indeed it is very exciting and thrilling. Sic Bo appeared in the USA and Europe not so long ago and we suppose that it is right time to get familiar with the game.

Sic Bo was invented in China and it is still very popular there as well as at some other Asian countries. There you can meet such names as Tai Sai or Dai Siu, what mean practically the same. The game is really widely played there in comparison with Europe and the USA. In 1900s Chinese immigrants brought the game to the USA, but some people still don’t see the difference between Sic Bo and craps, considering craps to be an European variant of Sic Bo.

The game is played with three dice and a table, where there are special sections for the bets. At the beginning you place a bet and then a dealer rolls the dice. Certainly, at online casinos the roll is simulated to create an impression of real gaming. Your task is to predict the outcome of a roll as the win will depend on it. The most interesting in this game is the choice of a bet. There are several variants and some of them are risky while the others are not. Let’s see what the bets are:

Small/Big bet (Three Number Totals):
Small bet wins when the total amount of points is 4-10, and a big bet wins when it is from 11 to 18. You lose if there are three equal numbers at the screen. The bet pays off 1:1.

Single Number bet:

In this case you place a bet on a single number from 1 to 6. The sum of a win depends on how many dice show this result. So if one dice has the number you’ve chosen, it pays off 1:1, if two dice have the same result, the win will be paid off 2:1 and if three dice have egual numbers, then it pays off 3:1. However, the last variant occurs really seldom, and you should be lucky enough to get it.

Two Number bet:

It means that you may place a bet on a pair of numbers, which may appear on the dice. You may choose any numbers, for example, 1 and 3, 5 and 6 and so on. And if these two numbers appear on two of three dice, the bet pays off 6:1.

General bet:

In this case you may place a bet on any total amount of points from 4 to 17 (3 and 18 are not allowed to choose). Winning depends on a number:
- 4 and 17 pays off 60:1;
- 5 and 16 – 30:1;
- 6 and 15 – 17:1;
- 7 and 14 – 12:1;
- 8 and 13 – 8:1;
- 9-12 – 6:1.

Triple bet:

A bet is placed on any three equal numbers. This bet pays off 180:1. And you may also place a bet on odd/even numbers. In this case you win if all numbers on the dice are odd or even, depending on what you’ve chosen. This bet pays off 25:1.

These are the bets which you can place playing Sic Bo online. You should have a clear idea about them to to get confused, what is quite possible with this game. If to start playing it without any preparation, then you will definitely lose more than win. And that’s not what you want. Read the rules with close attention and don’t be afraid to waste time. Good luck to you!
