Free Sic Bo Online: how to play, rules & tips
Play Sic Bo online free: three dice, one roll, and bets on Small or Big, single numbers, exact totals and any triple. It's a quick dice game from Macau casinos, and easy to learn in a few rolls.
How to play Sic Bo
Place chips on the betting spots, then roll. Three dice decide every bet at once. Small wins on totals of 4 to 10 and Big on 11 to 17, but both lose to any triple.
A single-number bet pays 1 to 1 if your number shows once, 2 to 1 if it shows twice and 3 to 1 on all three dice.
