The following probabilities and payouts will help you decide exactly what bets in sic bo will pay and how much risk is involved.

Player’s approach:

Sic bo is yet another casino table game that is based off of the probability of dice rolling your way. Similar to craps and roulette, sic bo has several betting options and just as many payout options. If you’re looking for a conservative approach and the lowest house advantage I recommend sticking to the big and small bets (1 to 1), but if you like the risky gamble with the big payout then you should feel free to throw down some chips on a specific triple (180 to 1) or any of the individual numbers. As always, make sure you do your homework before you play the game whether it is in an online casino or at the Las Vegas Hilton, check the pay tables to see what casino offers the most for your buck. Luck to ya.

Practice:

Don’t forget that most online casinos will allow you to play for free and get your “feet wet” before you decide to use the real loot! Even if you don’t plan on going to Vegas or AC, you can always practice and play in the privacy of your own home. The most important factor is to have fun! Luck to ya.
