The course of a game of Sic Bo

To start a game of Sic Bo well, you should know that you will have to guess a combination that will emerge from the drawing of three dice, by placing a bet. In order, here is the progress of the game :

• You place your bet on the table (there is usually no limitation in your bets).
• The dealer, or the automatic cage, rolls the three dice.
• Depending on the results, your winnings are paid automatically.

The main bets to place

Name of the bet	Description
Dice Face	A bet on a single digit (on 1 of the 3 dice).
Two Faces	A bet on two numbers (on 1 of the 3 dice).
Sum / Totals Bet	A bet on the sum of the three dice.
Small / Big	Small: the total is between 4 and 10. Big: the total is between 11 and 17.
Any Triple	A bet on a number that will come out on the 3 dice (any one, without specifying it).
Any Pair	A bet on a number that will come out on 2 of the dice (without specifying which one either).

How to win at Sic Bo?

As in all games of chance, Sic Bo will call on luck to decide whether you should win or not. With dice that will be drawn randomly, it will be very difficult to guess the future that the Sic Bo has in store for you. Nevertheless, by following a strict method and organization of your game, it is quite possible to reduce your losses!

First of all, we advise you to play knowing all the specificities of Sic Bo. To do this, take the time to assimilate all the rules that we have dictated to you, but also all the possible combinations. There is, in fact, a probability table that guides you in your bets. Thus, it would be effective to place a bet on a combination that is more likely to come out in front of your eyes than the other way around. So you can play more, getting small winnings, or bet everything on the biggest bet, at the risk of losing everything!

Finally, be logical in your bets! You may have noticed that some combinations of dice absolutely cannot be drawn at the same time. To take a concrete example: if you want to bet on the total sum of the three dice which is equivalent to 10, do not place a bet on a pair of 5. The sum of the dice will necessarily be higher than 10!
