HOW TO PLAY - SIC BO

Sic Bo is sometimes translated as "Dice-in-a-bowl", and that almost describes the way it plays. Three dice are shaken inside a container with a cover and bets are placed on which numbers will be face up on the dice. When all the bets are placed the cover is removed and the players can see the result of their wagers.
It is a game that began in ancient China, and is now popular all over the world. The rules are simple and the game is easy to play. There are numerous betting options and payout odds. Like most modern casinos, Lasseters Online uses a Sic Bo table which lights up to show the winning combinations after each shake of the dice.

AIM OF THE GAME


The object of Sic Bo is to guess the numbers that are showing face up on three dice that have been "shaken" underneath a solid cover, out of sight of the player. Bets can be placed on individual numbers being shown, or on a range of different combinations of numbers, including doubles and triples of the same number.

PLACING BETS

Bets can be placed on individual numbers or on a range of different combinations of numbers. The combinations include pairs, doubles, triples, and high or low numbers.

THE SHAKE

The dice are "shaken" beneath a solid cover at the beginning of a new game. When the player places the bet, the outcome of the game has already been decided, and when the player has finished placing bets, the cover is removed and the winning numbers on the dice are revealed.

THE TABLE

As the player's cursor moves over the table, the payout odds for any individual betting position on the table are shown on the left hand side of the screen. When the cover has been removed, different areas of the table are highlighted to show the winning positions for that game.
