Sic Bo Gameplay

Sic Bo is played on a rectangular table not dissimilar to a roulette table, with a layout consisting of numbers and dice faces that represent all the combinations that can be made with the dice the game is played with.

The game uses three dice and a table with a variety of betting options on the roll of those dice. The object of the game is to try to predict the outcome of a roll of the three dice.

The dice are shaken and rolled by the dealer, using a special dice box, which keeps the dice hidden until all bets are placed. In the case of an online game, the numbers for each dice are generated using random number generators.

The players try to predict the outcome of a roll by placing their bets on the appropriate places on the table layout, which can vary from casino to casino (as can the available odds and payouts).

Winning numbers and combinations then light up on the table surface, to indicate which players and bets are winners. In many ways, these flashing lights are about the most appealing part of a game that is heavily loaded in favour of the house.

Losing bets are then raked in by the house, while the dealer pays off the winning bets. The players then place their bets for the next roll of the dice and the game continues.
