Decide the cost before you start
Gambling is entertainment with a price, like a concert ticket. The useful question is not how much you might win but how much the evening is allowed to cost. Pick that number first, and treat reaching it as the end of the session. You can set one below and the coach will hold you to it.

Expected is each bet's house edge taken on the chips you put on it. A short session swings well away from it in both directions, and the long shots swing furthest.

A table that prices every spot
Sic Bo has nothing to decide after the chips are down, and the widest spread of prices of any table here.
Small and Big cost 2.78% of the chips on them. Nothing on the layout costs more than Total 9 at 18.98%, about 7 times as much, and most of the other spots sit closer to that end than to Small. Same three dice, same roll, very different prices.
- Small and Big2.78%
- Single numbers7.87%
- Triples16.20%
From 13.89%, depending on the spot
- Two-dice combinations16.67%
- Specific doubles18.52%
- Totals18.98%
From 9.72%, depending on the spot
House edge as a share of the chips on a spot, counted over all 216 rolls. Each bar runs to the dearest spot in its group.
The layout does not advertise that.
The biggest payouts are printed on the bets that fall furthest short of their true odds. So the table prices your layout while the chips are still in your hand: how often something wins, what the roll costs on average with each bet charged at its own edge, and the best and worst the dice can do to it. Move a chip from Small to a long shot and watch the cost line move. That gap is what is worth practicing here.
| Spot | Pays | Fair price |
|---|---|---|
| A specific triple | 180 to 1 | 215 to 1 |
| A total of 4 | 60 to 1 | 71 to 1 |
| Any triple | 30 to 1 | 35 to 1 |
| A specific double | 10 to 1 | 12.5 to 1 |
| A two-dice combination | 5 to 1 | 6.2 to 1 |
| Small or Big | 1 to 1 | 1.06 to 1 |
The fair price is the rolls that lose over the rolls that win, out of 216. The gap between the two columns is what the spot costs.

Rules at this table
| Total | Pays | Rolls that make each one |
|---|---|---|
| 4 or 17 | 60 to 1 | 3 of 216 |
| 5 or 16 | 30 to 1 | 6 of 216 |
| 6 or 15 | 17 to 1 | 10 of 216 |

A total pays only on that exact sum.
- Three dice are rolled. All 216 combinations are equally likely.
- Small wins on a total of 4 to 10 and Big on 11 to 17. Both pay 1 to 1, and both lose to any triple.
- A single number pays by how many of the three dice show it: 1, 2 or 3 to 1.
- A specific double pays 10 to 1 when at least two dice show the number. A specific triple pays 180 to 1, and any triple pays 30 to 1.
- A two-dice combination pays 5 to 1 when both of its numbers show.
- Any spot takes up to 500 chips. Your bets stay on the layout for the next roll until you clear them.
This table pays the American schedule. Tables on the Macau schedule pay less on doubles, triples and the widest totals, which makes those bets cost more.
FAQ
- Is this Sic Bo game played for real money?
- No. The table uses play chips that have no value, cannot be bought, and cannot be cashed out or exchanged for anything. If you run out, you are handed another stack for free. There is no account and nothing to download.
- Which Sic Bo bets cost the least?
- Small and Big. Each wins on 105 of the 216 possible rolls and costs 2.78% of the chips on it. A single number is next at 7.87%. Every other spot on this layout costs more, up to 18.98% on Total 9. The cost panel under the table names the cheapest and dearest bets you have down.
- Why do Small and Big lose on a triple?
- It is the rule that sets the price of those bets. There are 6 triples among the 216 rolls and every one of them loses both bets, including the 2 whose total falls inside Small's range and the 2 inside Big's. That is why each bet wins on 105 rolls, fewer than half of the 216.
- How is each roll decided?
- Your browser draws three random numbers per roll, one for each die, with every face equally likely. Nothing depends on your bets, your balance or earlier rolls. The dice animation is drawn afterwards to show the faces already chosen.
How this game works
Each roll draws three random numbers in your browser, one per die, every face equally likely. The payouts are read from the same module the Sic Bo house edge tool is built on, using its American schedule. A bet's house edge is its average loss per chip across all 216 rolls, counted roll by roll, which comes to 2.78% for Small and Big and as much as 18.98% elsewhere on this layout of 50 spots.
The chance a bet wins is the number of the 216 rolls that pay at least one of your bets, divided by 216. The expected cost of a roll is each bet's own edge multiplied by the chips on it, added up. Best and worst roll are found by settling your layout against every one of the 216 rolls in turn.
Limits
- A chance that some bet wins is not a chance of finishing ahead: a winning spot can return less than the whole layout cost.
- Pay schedules differ by casino and are not printed on the layout. A table paying less than this one on the same bet costs more than the figures shown here.
- Play chips do not feel like money. A losing run that is easy to sit through here is harder with a real stake.
This is a practice game for adults. It has no real-money play and links to none. Sic Bo played for money has a house edge on every bet on the layout, and no system or amount of practice removes it.
