Bets / Payouts

The Sic Bo table has several separate betting areas.

Small and Big

The SMALL and BIG bet areas are in the top left and right corners of the table.

If the total of the three dice is 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 and the throw is not a triple, bets placed in the SMALL area located in the table's top left corner will pay 1 to 1. Similarly, if the total of the three dice is 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 and the throw is not a triple, bets placed in the BIG area located in the table's top right corner will pay 1 to 1.

Any bet in the SMALL or BIG area loses if a triple is thrown.

Double and Triple

Between the SMALL and BIG bet areas are the double and triple bet areas. Here, for example, you can bet on a double six or triple six being thrown.

If a double is thrown, winning bets in that double's bet area are paid at 11 to 1. However, if a triple is thrown, a winning double bet is only paid once. Therefore, if you want to bet on triples, you should use the triple bet area: if a triple is thrown, winning bets in the triple bet area are paid at 180 to 1.

For example, John bets $10 on double five and $5 on triple five. Three fives are thrown. John wins $10 x 11 = $110 for his double bet and $5 x 180 = $900 for his triple bet. His total winnings are therefore $1,010, which is added to his chip rack. His initial $10 and $5 bets remain on the table.

Any Triple

In the middle of the double and triple bet areas is the ANY TRIPLE betting area. Bets placed in this area pay 31 to 1 if any triple is thrown.

Total

Beneath the double and triple bet area is the TOTAL BET area (numbered from 4 to 17). Here you can place bets on the total sum of the three dice. The possible totals pay different odds:

For example, if a 2, 3, and 4 are thrown, the total is 9, and the odds paid are 7 to 1.

Pair

Beneath the total bet area is the PAIR BET area. In this area you can bet on different combinations of two dice being thrown.

Winning bets are paid at 6 to 1. If the pair can be made two ways with the three dice, the bet pays out only once.

Number

The bottom row of the table is for bets on a single number from 1 to 6. If the number is thrown on one dice, the bet is paid at 1 to 1. If the number is thrown on two dice, the bet is paid at 2 to 1. If the number is thrown on all three dice, the bet is paid at 12 to 1.
