Sic Bo is an Asian dice game.
Introduction
Sic Bo is an Asian dice game that is available with Microgaming, Playtech, Real Time Gaming, Boss Media, Grand Virtual, World Gaming, and Gambling Federation softwares. The game often is not allowed for bonus play due because it is possible to simultaneously bet on winnings and losing outcomes. It is a good choice for Microgaming Clearplay bonuses, if it counts 100% towards wagering.
Rules and Play
After placing your bets, three dice are rolled. Any winning bets are paid according to the listed payout. Possible bets are listed below. The Small / Big bets typically have the lowest house edge.
Small / Big -- Small pays if the sum of the dice is 4-10. Big Pays if the sum of the dice is 11-17. Both bets lose if any triple is rolled (1/1/1, 2/2/2, 3/3/3, 4/4/4, 5/5/5, or 6/6/6).
