You asked: how sicbo works and what its bets pay. Next step: learn which bets lose to a triple, then hold your table’s payouts against the fair figures below. Where it lives: live rooms sit on SLOTVIP’s Live tab; software boards sit on the Cards tab.
The problem with this game is the layout itself. It offers a crowd of bets that look similar, while the cost of each one varies widely. Three dice give exactly 216 equally likely rolls, so every bet can be counted and the crowd thins out quickly once you do.
Sicbo Big, Small and the triple rule
A Small bet needs a three-dice total from 4 to 10, a Big bet from 11 to 17, and each pays even money. Odd and Even work the same way on the total. Evolution’s page for Super Sic Bo says plainly that any triple, three matching dice, beats all four.
So you have 105 winning rolls in 216, a 48.61% chance, and a 2.78% cost, about ₱2.78 on each ₱100 over time. It is the plainest bet on the board and, by this arithmetic, the cheapest of the common ones.
Sicbo totals and triples, counted
The right-hand column is the payout at which a bet would break even. Anything lower means the table keeps the difference.
| Bet | Rolls out of 216 | Fair payout |
|---|---|---|
| Total 4 or 17 | 3 | 71:1 |
| Total 5 or 16 | 6 | 35:1 |
| Total 6 or 15 | 10 | 20.6:1 |
| Total 7 or 14 | 15 | 13.4:1 |
| Total 8 or 13 | 21 | 9.29:1 |
| Total 9 or 12 | 25 | 7.64:1 |
| Total 10 or 11 | 27 | 7:1 |
| Any triple | 6 | 35:1 |
| One specific triple | 1 | 215:1 |
Boards print different payouts, so treat this column as your yardstick. A single-number bet is the Color Game sum again: your number shows on at least one die in 91 rolls of 216, and each board prints its own ladder for one, two or three matches. Suppose a table pays a hypothetical 60:1 on a total of 4: against a fair 71:1, it is keeping about 15% of each bet. Doing that sum takes seconds and tells you which squares to ignore.
Sicbo rooms and multiplier tables
Evolution’s site describes two multiplier versions, and both change the arithmetic above.
- Super Sic Bo places random multipliers, the highest 1000x, on a handful of bet spots each round.
- Lightning Sic Bo carries a 20% fee, with a multiplier landing on at least four spots every round, anywhere from 5x to 2000x.
A multiplier does not come free: the fee or lower base payouts pay for it. Read that table’s panel, not this page, before staking.
Sic Bo titles on the lobby’s boards
Software boards on the lobby’s Cards tab include:
- JILI: Sicbo
- R88: Thai Sic Bo 2, Super Sic Bo 88, Lucky Sic Bo
- KM: Sic Bo
- TP: Sicbo
- V8: Hundred Sic Bo
- 1BET: Everyone’s Sic Bo
These run on a random number generator, and each sets its own payouts. Live dice are behind the room entries on the Live tab, and those lists open only to a signed-in account.
Another three-dice game with a far smaller layout is on the Color Game odds page. The Dragon Tiger tie costs show a similar trap, the house edge scoreboard ranks them all, and the hub of live casino pages leads to the rest.
How to Get Started
-
Stick to Big or Small at first
They win close to half of all rolls and carry the lowest cost on the layout. Everything else is a longer shot.
-
Compare a payout with the fair one
Take a total from the table below and hold it against what your board pays. The further below fair, the more it keeps.
-
Treat multipliers as a separate price
Rooms with multipliers change the ordinary payouts or add a fee. Read that table's panel on its own terms.
