Dice frequencies

There are eight different bets in Sic-Bo with many variations, they are:

Single number bets - Single bets are normally located at the bottom of the table layout, which is divided into six areas – one for each dice number.

A single dice bet is a wager on which numbers will be showing up after the dice are rolled. If one of the three dice shows the number that you have bet on, you win and get paid at odds of 1:1. If two numbers show up, the odds improve to 2:1 and if all three dice show the number you have chosen, you get paid out at 3:1.

Two dice bets – Two number combinations are bets that involve placing a wager on any 2 dice to come up. If for instance you bet on a 1-2 combination, you would win your bet if the 3 dice showed 1-2 and any other dice. You would not win more than once if the numbers showed 1-2-1 or 1-2-2. The payout for a two dice bet is normally either 5-1 or 6-1.

Pair – This is similar to a two dice bet, but is a bet on one particular pair to be present in the three dice that are rolled. The payoff is normally between 8:1 and 11:1, which may make it seem more appealing than a two dice bet, but the house edge is actually higher.

Triplets – A triplet occurs when all three dice show the same digit. You only win a triplet if the numbers you have bet on show up on all three dice. Payout varies from 120:1 to 180:1.

Any triplet – This is a bet that a triplet will occur, but one which does not specify which triplet. In other words it is a bet that is split between all six different triplets. Payouts normally come in around 25:1.

Small or Big – These bets allow you to wager on whether the combined result of the roll will be either between four and ten (Small Bet) or between eleven and seventeen (Big Bet). All casinos will pay out at evens (1:1) for these bets. Normally, if the result of the dice roll is a triplet, both Small and Big Bets lose.

Three number totals – This is a bet on the specific total of the three dice. Triple 3s and triple 6s are not catered for and will lead to all three number total bets losing. Because of the different frequencies of the different totals, they all have different returns, which can vary from casino to casino.

Multiple bets are accepted in Sic Bo, which is not surprising given the large house edge on most of them.
