The History of Sic Bo
Overview
Sic Bo is a captivating game with roots in ancient China. Despite its name, which means "dice pair," the game intriguingly uses three dice. Originally, players used bricks instead of dice, which were shaken between two plates and covered with a bowl. Over time, this evolved into the modern version played with dice and a cage shaker in casinos worldwide.
Evolution and Spread
Known also as Tai Sai, Lucky Dice, and Hi Lo in the Philippines, Sic Bo has different names across regions. In Macau, it is commonly called Dai Siu, which translates to "Big Small," reflecting the game’s popular betting option. Its concept resembles the English game Grand Hazard. As people from Southeast Asia, Korea, and China moved westward in the 19th century, they introduced Sic Bo to Western audiences. Today, it's a staple in many Western casinos.
Objective and Gameplay
The main objective of Sic Bo is to bet on the outcome of the roll of three dice. Players can wager on various combinations such as any two or three numbers, single numbers, doubles, or triples. Payouts can be as high as 180:1 for a specific triple, where all three dice show a designated number. Lower payouts, like 1:1, occur when betting on a single die's value. Similarly, Small bets win if the total of the three dice is between 4 and 10 (excluding triples of 1, 2, or 3), and Big bets win if the total is between 11 and 17 (excluding triples of 4 or 5).
Playing the Game
Sic Bo is played on a table that displays the 50 possible bets along with their payouts, much like a roulette table. Players place their chips on their chosen bets. The dealer shakes the dice in a basket, then announces the results on the table with illuminated winning combinations. Winning bets are paid out, and losing bets are cleared, setting the stage for the next round of excitement.
By embracing its rich history and evolving gameplay, Sic Bo continues to capture the interest of players worldwide, combining ancient charm with the thrill of modern gaming.
