Sic Bo Game

There is a perception that Chinese invented and enjoyed the first games of chance about 2000 years ago, they used tiles, pebbles, dice, although the game scheme was quite primitive it has stayed intact to date and rules have remained similar as many centuries ago. The same story is about Sic Bo — the first casino game ever invented, meaning in translation “dice pair”. We can’t but mention an interesting historical fact that while playing Sic Bo in those ancient times gamers tossed two quite heavy bricks with numbers on their sides, sounds bizarre, huh? Happily soon, these bulky elements of the game were replaced with three lightweight six-sided dice. What remained unchanged, regardless of time passed, is the main object of the game: the player must wager on the combination of rolled dice-numbers. Sic Bo in the 20th century was successfully brought to North America by Chinese immigrants and deservedly won the place among other favorite table games of the residents.So, we’ve been inspired by eastern wisdom and extreme antiquity of the game of chance and maintaining the Chinese heritage, have created our online version of Sic Bo. It is an unusual, non-standard game, with all numerical combinations, that perfectly develops mind, logic and abstract thinking. The game table might seem complex at first look, but actually, it is simple, the only thing you’ll have to do before playing, is to read attentively the drawn winning combinations and decide on which one to bet.Sic Bo is the game, where you won’t find some special strategy or a way of exact behavior, right steps and so on. The chance and destiny — are the only satellites of the game. Maybe that’s why to these very days in land-based casinos still leave some Chinese superstitions, which allegedly influence the course of the game. So, here are some of them. Before the game a player should have some red element in his outfit as according to belief red color brings good luck. Also the player should avoid number 4 (in Chinese culture this number symbolizes death), there should be no passing churches or monasteries that day, no touching other players during the game and of course you should have some knowledge in feng shui, no way around it!So, we hope you have been inspired a little by east traditions and the game object, that’s why pump over the positive energy and luck, wear something red and make series of excellent bets with our Sic Bo!

The layout of a sic bo table

Sic bo (骰寶), also known as tai sai (大細), dai siu (大小), big and small or hi-lo, is an unequal game of chance of ancient Chinese origin played with three dice. Grand hazard and chuck-a-luck are variants, both of English origin. The literal meaning of sic bo is 'precious dice', while dai siu and dai sai mean 'big [or] small'.

Sic bo table

Sic bo is a casino game, popular in Asia and widely played (as dai siu) in casinos in Macau. It is played in the Philippines as hi-lo.[1] It was introduced to the United States by Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century, and can now be found in most American casinos. Since 2002, it can be played legally in licensed casinos in the United Kingdom.

Gameplay involves betting that a certain condition (e.g. that all three dice will roll the same) will be satisfied by a roll of the dice.[2]

Gameplay[edit]

Players place their bets on certain areas of the table as shown in the picture above. The dealer then picks up a small chest containing the dice, which he/she closes and shakes. Finally the dealer opens the chest to reveal the combination.

Comparison to craps[edit]

Sic bo is one of two casino games involving dice, the other being craps. Sic bo is strictly a game of chance because every roll on the dice results a win or loss on any bet. In craps, some bets require certain rolls before they can become winning or losing bets, thus encouraging strategy.

Variants[edit]

Sic Bo Game Tricks

Grand Hazard is a gambling game of English origin, also played with three dice. It is distinct from Hazard, another gambling game of English origin, played with two dice. The dice are either thrown with a cup or rolled down a chute containing a series of inclined planes ('hazard chute') that tumble the dice as they fall.[3] Threes-of-a-kind are known as 'raffles' and pay out at 18 to 1.

Chuck-a-luck, also known as 'sweat cloth', 'chuckerluck' and birdcage,[3] is a variant in the United States, which has its origins in grand hazard. The three dice are kept in a device that resembles a wire-frame bird cage and that pivots about its centre. The dealer rotates the cage end over end, with the dice landing on the bottom. Chuck-a-luck usually features only the single-number wagers, sometimes with an additional wager for any 'triple' (all three dice showing the same number) with odds of 30 to 1 (or thereabouts). Chuck-a-luck was once common in Nevada casinos but is now rare, frequently having been replaced by sic bo tables.
