How To Play Sicbo

Sicbo how to go...

Sometimes, it becomes far too easy for experienced gamblers to fall into familiar habits or patterns of behavior. While it's a good idea to devote a proper amount of time to honing your skills in your game (or games) of choice, it can also be highly instructive to learn new games that can offer a fresh perspective on the tried-and-true formats. Thus, many poker players have derived a great deal of value by learning how to play Sic Bo.

Though Sic Bo is far from a household word in then United States at the moment, it's quite possible that may change in the coming years. The British version is called Grand Hazard. The American version of Grand Hazard is called Chuck-a-luck or Birdcage.

Whatever you call it, Sic Bo is a very exciting and addictive game and one which garners new fans on an accelerating basis. In its native China, this gambling diversion is also known as tai sai and dai siu. Chances are, your local casino will be adding it to their roster of games, if that hasn't already happened.

Sic Bo is played with three dice. These are shaken in a basket or cup and then thrown. A player has the freedom to make any number of bets during a round. Results are determined by the combinations that occur when the three dice are rolled. A long list of payoff combinations can usually be found on a roulette-style table that is sometimes illuminated in certain areas to indicate winning combinations.

In a normal round of Sic Bo, players make their bets on the table and multiple bets are accepted. It's critical to get a firm handle on the payoff rates. For instance, a 5:1 payoff ratio found on a $10 bet would indicate that you receive $50 if you win, on top of your original bet.

A Single bet allows you to bet on any single number from one to six. Payoff depends on how many of the three dice end up with your number. A Two dice bet lets you wager on any two dice combinations. There are fifteen different combinations/bets. The payoff is usually 6:1 as long as your combination comes up.

The action starts to get really hot when you factor in all the possibilities of a Three dice bet, including numbers ranging from 4 to 17. Bet on any of those numbers and if the three dice together end on that total, you win. Remember that the bets available and their associated odds can be quite different from one casino to another.

It's also essential to understand the Small and Big bets. You will usually find these at the top of the Sic Bo table, on either side. The Small bet indicates that you wager the outcome of the dice will total between 4 and 10. Conversely, the Big bet indicates the outcome of the roll will total from 11 to 17. These two bets both pay even money. If a three-of-a-kind is rolled all bets lose.

Clearly, this is a game with lots of betting action to offer any serious gambler. Jump in and enjoy!
