Sic Bo Live

Objective:

Sic Bo is one of the easiest games to learn, since its aim is simply to guess the results of 3 rolled dice. If it is correctly guessed the player wins, and if not the player loses.

How to Play:

1. Our version of online Sic Bo employs a real-life dealer who throws the dice, and the footage will be transmitted via a webcam onto your computer screen. This means that if a game is already in progress, you must wait until the next starts before being able to take part and place a bet.
2. Once you can join in, specify your preferred chip value by choosing from the values offered at the bottom of the screen.
3. Place the chips onto the area on the board that corresponds to the bet you want to make, by clicking on it. Each click will add another chip, and each right-click will remove a chip. The value of the chip can be changed at any time by repeating step 2. Complete your bet by pressing on “confirm”. If you do not place any chips on the board (IE – don’t make a bet) then your turn will be skipped for that round of the game.
4. Bets must be made within the time limit designated for the game. When the dice are rolled no more bets will be taken, so make sure to place your bets quickly.
5. If the results of the dice are what you bet they would be, you win and your winnings will be added to your account.

Tips:

In our Sic Bo games we make use of a live dealer. It is therefore customary among players to tip the dealer as they would in a land-based casino. If you wish to tip the dealer, just press on the “tip” chip stack and click to add chips. When done, press on either “cancel” or “confirm”.

Game Controls:

When playing our game of Sic Bo, your computer screen will be divided up into several sections as follows:

• The left section: this is where you can view all the bets you have made in the game up to this point.
• The right section: this is where you can see the name of your game table, the name of the live dealer and also his/her telephone number.
• The center section: this is where the live webcam transmission of the dealer will be displayed. This section can be maximized to full screen size by clicking on the button in the top right corner (or minimized by doing the same). The strength of the webcam transmission is showed below this, and if it is weak you are given the choice to turn the camera off. To turn it off you should press on the camera button in the top left corner of the screen. Alternatively, the buttons with numbers on them relate to different webcam transmissions, and you can alternate between them at your will.
• The History tab: this is where you can see the results of previous games you have played.
• The info tab: this is where you can see what time it is, your game’s unique ID number, plus the betting limitations imposed on players for the game.
• The chat tab: this is where you can communicate with other players in the game by sending messages to one another. To do this, just type your message into the box provided and press “send” – the message you sent will be displayed in the center of the section on the screen.

Rules:

The only thing you need to know when you start playing Sic Bo is the difference between the bets. Players should know that there is no limit to the amount of bets a player can make in each game of Sic Bo. The bets themselves are briefly explained at the bottom of the screen when they are scrolled over.

• Number bet: bet on a number that you think the dice will roll up (the options being, plainly, 1 through to 6). You will know where to place you chips by looking at the status bar, which will show corresponding the number in words. The payout for the number you bet on appearing once is 1:1, for appearing twice it is 2:2 and for appearing three times the payout is 3:3.
• Total Bet: bet on the total of all three dice outcomes combined from 4 to 17 (excluding numbers 3 and 18). The information bar at the screen’s bottom will read “total of…”, and you should stop on the area that presents the total you wish to bet on. The payout for this bet is based on the total rolled, as the chart below explains:




Total of 4	60 to 1
Total of 5	30 to 1
Total of 6	17 to 1
Total of 7	12 to 1
Total of 8	8 to 1
Total of 9	6 to 1
Total of 10	6 to 1
Total of 11	6 to 1
Total of 12	6 to 1
Total of 13	8 to 1
Total of 14	12 to 1
Total of 15	17 to 1
Total of 16	30 to 1
Total of 17	60 to 1




• Big and Small bets: when you bet on a big bet, you are guessing that the total combined outcome of the three dice will be between 11 and 17. If you bet on a small bet you are guessing that the total combined outcome of the three dice will be between 4 and 10. Both these bets lose if each dice rolls up the same outcome. The payout for the big and small bets is 1:1, and they are displayed in the information bar like all other bets are.
• Double bet: bet on the chance that the dice will roll up a pair, such as two 6’s. By hovering your mouse over the relevant area, the information bar will feature “Double…”. If more than one of the numbers you chose appears, your payout is 10:1.
• Pair Bet: bet on the outcome of 2 dice only, for which there is only 15 possible combinations. The payout for this bet is 5:1 and is called “pair” in the information bar.
• Triple Bet: the same as a pair bet but for all 3 dice, IE – guessing that all 3 dice will show the same number. It is called “Triple…” in the information bar (e.g.: “Triple Four”) and has an incredible payout of 180:1.
• Any Triple Bet: betting that all three dice will show the same number, but without betting on a specific number. It appears as “Any Triple” on the information bar and has a payout of 30:1.
