Live Sic-bo

Play Live Dealer Sic-bo for a Realistic Casino Experience!

To the uninitiated, Sic-bo is a strange-sounding game that is presumed to have even stranger rules. To those who know and love Sic-bo, it is the most unique betting game one can play.

Fortunately for the latter group, Sic-bo is now offered in live casino format. What does that mean exactly? Put simply, it means that Sic-bo games with the same excitement and realism of those offered in brick and mortar casinos are now offered online.

Whereas standard online Sic-bo games featured computerized sound effects, techno-graphics and outcomes produced by random number generators, live sic-bo games are streamed from actual live tables.

This is achieved via webcam. You can hear real background noise - the croupier speaking, the dice hitting the felt, players betting on other games behind your table - while playing. It is a unique experience that rivals the real thing and blows boring computerized Sic-bo games out of the water.

Sic-bo Rules & History in Brief

Sic-bo is a Chinese dice game that employs three dice and allows players to bet on single dice rolls, combinations or big versus small number "groupings."

Prior to rolling the dice, players wager on the total of the dice. Below are the most common betting options:

Small Bet: Covers all dice totals between 4 and 10. Pays even money.
Big Bet: Covers all dice totals between 10 and 17. Pays even money.
Actual Number Bet: Covers only one number. This winning number can be achieved by any combination total of the three dice. For instance, if you bet on 15 and the three dice show 3, 6, 6, you win.
Any 2 Numbers Bet: Covers any two numbers between 1 and 6 on the next roll. Payout for this bet varies.
Triplet Bet: Bet placed on a single, specific number appearing on all three dice. Typically pays out between 150:1 and 180:1.
Any Triplet Bet: Bet placed on the fact that triplet will be rolled, but without selecting the number that will show. Bet "any triple" and you win whether the number combination on the dice is 333, 444, 555, etc.
Double Bet: Bet placed on a single specific number appearing on two of the three dice.
