Sic Bo: Dice Rules and Bets Explained
Quick Summary
- Three dice are rolled and you bet on the result: totals, singles, pairs or triples.
- Small and Big are the simplest bets and lose to a triple.
- Single-number, double and triple bets pay more but carry a bigger house edge.
- Payout tables differ by table, so read the board before you bet.
Sic Bo is an old dice game that looks busy on screen but is easy once you break the layout down. A dealer rolls three dice and every bet on the grid is settled from that roll. Some bets are close to even money and others are long shots. Here is how the bets work and how to choose between them.
The basics of a roll
Three dice are shaken in a covered cup or a mechanical shaker, then revealed. Each bet region on the table refers to some feature of those three numbers: their sum, a specific face, a pair or a triple. All winning and losing bets are settled together.
Because three dice produce 216 possible outcomes, the odds for each bet are exact and fixed. Only the payouts printed on the table change between operators.
Small, Big and totals
Small wins when the total is 4 to 10, Big when it is 11 to 17. Both pay 1 to 1, and both lose if any triple lands, even if the total fits. That triple rule is where the house gets its edge on these bets.
Total bets pick one exact sum from 4 to 17 and pay according to how rare it is. Totals near the middle, like 10 or 11, occur more often and pay less, while 4 or 17 pay a lot because they are rare.
Singles, doubles, triples and combinations
A single-number bet wins when your chosen face shows on at least one die, paying 1 to 1 for one match, 2 to 1 for two and 3 to 1 for three. A double bet needs two dice showing that number. A specific triple needs all three. Any triple covers all six triples at once.
A combination bet covers two named numbers appearing on the dice and typically pays 5 to 1. Check the printed payouts, as some tables adjust them.
| Bet | What must happen | House edge in general terms |
|---|---|---|
| Small / Big | Total in range, no triple | Among the lowest on the grid |
| Single number | Face shows on 1-3 dice | Moderate |
| Combination | Two named faces appear | Moderate |
| Specific double | Two dice match your pick | Higher |
| Specific or any triple | Dice all match | Highest, rare wins |
Picking bets sensibly
If you want long sessions, spend most chips on the near even-money bets. If you accept shorter sessions for the chance of a bigger hit, add one or two small side bets. Spreading chips across many regions does not reduce the edge; it just increases how much you stake per roll.
Our house edge explainer shows why that stays true however many bets you spread.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best bet in Sic Bo?
Small and Big carry the lowest house edge on most boards, because they win nearly half the time. They lose on triples, so they are not even money in truth. Check the payout board, since rules vary by table.
Why do triples make Small and Big lose?
Without that rule, Small and Big would have almost no house edge. The triple rule is how the casino is paid for offering near even-money bets.
Are certain totals due after a streak?
No. Each roll is independent. A total that has not appeared for many rolls is no more likely next time.
