SA Gaming Sic Bo Live: Our Review, How and Where to Play

SA Gaming’s version of Sic Bo follows all of the usual rules. If you want to know more about the basics of this dice game, check out our beginner’s guide to Sic Bo.

The round starts when the countdown starts. Players have around 18 seconds to place their bets, cancel their initial bets and place new ones, confirm their choices and wait for the dealer to shake the dice inside the container finally. The croupier does so as soon as the clock stops by pressing a green button. The view on the dice container is zoomed in, but just in case there is always a digital representation of the outcome of all three dice at the end of each round.

The betting area has taken the form of a digitally rendered table upon which all the available bets are marked. Use the chips to set the size of your stake, and then click on any of these positions to place your wager.

SA Gaming Sic Bo Bets

One of the reasons players enjoy Sic Bo so much is that it offers a lot of different types of bets. SA Gaming included pretty much all of them here, so experienced players will have everything they could want. If you’re a rookie, though, here’s a short rundown of your options.

• Small/Big bets – Small and Big bets refer to the outcome of all three dice. If the total is between 4 and 10, it is a Small, while Big bets pay out if the total is between 11 and 17. Both Small and Big bets pay 1:1. Please note that both bets will not pay out if the total consists of 3 identical values (3-of-a-kind or Triple).
• Odd/Even bets – Win or lose based on whether the total of all 3 dice was an odd or even number. This bet also loses for a 3-of-a-kind result.
• Single Number Bet – A bet that relates to 1 die out of 3 and only pays out if at least 1 die shows the bet result. The payout increases if more dice contain the same number.
• Double Number Bet – Same as Single, except you pick two exact values and you need the dice to show those exact results.
• Pair – Wins if two dice show your chosen number. For example, betting on a Pair of 1s wins if at least two dice show a 1.
• Triple – All three dice must have the same value to be considered a triple. There is also a bet called Any Triple which pays 30:1, but a selected triple (of 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, 5s or 6s) pays 180:1.
• Combination – These bets involve a combination of 2 dice results at the end of the round. Two dice participate and the third dice is not included.
• Total Bet – The most important bet in the game, as it refers to the total result obtained by combining the values of all 3 dice. In other words, players can bet on the total outcome of the roll by placing bets on specific numbers starting with 4 and ending with 17 (the payout is 60:1).
