The “two bricks” evolved into “dice pair” with the advent of numbered dice Sic Bo is not what it seems, it’s really simple dice game. After all the bets have been made, the dealer spins a small cage containing 3 dice. Players have made their bets by placing chips on the sections that designate possible combinations of the results of the dice. In a game of Sic Bo, always play either the small or big bet. While there are other bets to be placed, the small or big bet has the better advantage for you. In other words the house advantage is low. To be more specific, the probability of your winning is 48.6 % on either a small or big bet. The house edge is 2.78 %.
