Sic Bo, the Ancient Chinese Game
Sic Bo, also sometimes known as Tai Sai, Dai Siu, Big and Small, or Hi-Lo, is a game of chance originating in ancient China. These names translate literally to names such as dice pair, lucky dice and big small. The game itself, as might make sense, is popular throughout Asia and well-played at casinos in places such as Macau and the Philippines. Sic Bo was brought to the United States by the wave of Chinese immigration to the West Coast in the early 20th century and is offered fairly widely in American casinos and online casinos. Sic Bo, however, is not of those names that you instantly hear and think of the Las Vegas Strip. For those looking to learn more about the game, turn to your old friend Google for all things Sic Bo-related. More than two million results pop up under a simple Google search for the game; among these millions of results, novice players can find tutorials on how to play, as well as lists of strategies and house odds, as well as the names of the best casinos and online casinos at which to play Sic Bo.

There are areas of the Sic Bo table itself which are delineated by types of the bets and the player has to place his or her virtual chips in the appropriate area of the table in order to place a wager. There are at least seven different types of bets that the Sic Bo player can place, which ought to keep the game from ever getting boring. Once you have placed your bet, you have to click on the button marked roll. This will virtually roll the three dice on which the outcome of the game depends. If any of the bets have borne fruit, the appropriate section of the virtual Sic Bo table will then light up. How easy. Each of the different types of Sic Bo bets pays out differently, but there is no need to memorize the stats on each of these types of bets.

As previously mentioned, there are many different kinds of bets and all of them pay out differently. The good news for players looking for those lists is that they can be easily found online. A quick search for Sic Bo payouts will quickly reveal that information. Some of the payouts are 2 to 1 or 3 to 1, whereas others range from 5 to 1 all the way to 50 to 1. It all depends how you play and how you place your bets.
