Don’t worry if you never heard of Sic Bo you are not alone.

Chances are that you have never heard of Sic-Bo as it rarely seen in land based casinos outside the Far East and even if you saw a brightly lit table surrounded by lots of noisy Chinese you probably wouldn’t go near it to find out but with the coming of online casinos it is a game you can play and enjoy. Our casino games rules section covers how to play in detail but basically it is a simple game involving betting on the result of three dice which have been thrown. It will not take you long to realize that there are 216 possible outcomes (6x6x6) but as each dice only has 6 possible outcomes there is a lot of duplication for example the minimum number that can be thrown is 3 and the maximum is 18 which is only 16 possible outcomes. The board for Sic-Bo has places for all possible bets in a way a bit like a roulette table and once you have spent a few minutes looking at it you will soon grasp the game. Sic-Bo does have a few quirks such as you cannot actually bet on the outcome being 3 or 18 and the reason is that to attain these results there is only one combination of dice (three ones or three sixes respectively) and three dice of the same value is a different bet. You can also bet on the result of one dice or two dice or you can bet on above or below a total of ten (which is probably where the alternative name of Hi-Lo comes from); or you can bet on the sum of the three dice plus other possible combinations. Don’t be put off by the name or the apparent complexity of the board, play free Sic-Bo for just a few minutes and you will quickly grasp this casino game.
