100cuci lists sic bo in its live casino category (checked 3 November 2026). We could not verify its payout table, so the table below shows commonly found payouts and the house edge for each.
How sic bo works
Three dice are shaken in a container. You bet on the result: the total of all three dice, a particular number appearing, or a specific combination. Each die has 6 faces, so there are 6 × 6 × 6 = 216 equally likely combinations.
Big wins on totals of 11 to 17, and Small wins on 4 to 10. Both lose if all three dice match (a triple). That's where the house edge on these bets comes from.
House edge on every bet
| Bet | Winning combinations (of 216) | Payout | House edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big or Small | 105 | 1:1 | 2.78% |
| Single number (e.g. "4") | 91 | 1:1, 2:1 or 3:1 by number of dice | 7.87% |
| Total of 10 or 11 | 27 | 6:1 | 12.5% |
| Any triple | 6 | 30:1 | 13.9% |
| Any triple | 6 | 24:1 | 30.6% |
| Total of 4 or 17 | 3 | 60:1 | 15.3% |
| Total of 4 or 17 | 3 | 50:1 | 29.2% |
| Specific triple (e.g. 6-6-6) | 1 | 180:1 | 16.2% |
| Specific triple | 1 | 150:1 | 30.1% |
| Two-number combination (e.g. 1 and 2) | 30 | 5:1 | 16.7% |
| Specific double (e.g. two 6s) | 16 | 10:1 | 18.5% |
| Specific double | 16 | 8:1 | 33.3% |
You can check this yourself for any bet with a single payout rate: multiply (payout + 1) by the number of winning combinations, divide by 216, then subtract 1. For a specific triple at 180:1: 181 × 1 ÷ 216 = 0.838. You can expect 83.8 sen back for every RM1, a house edge of 16.2%.
Multiplier variants
Some live sic bo tables add random multipliers to certain results. To pay for them, the ordinary payouts are often lower than the standard table. Multipliers make big wins look more frequent, but they don't necessarily lower the house edge. Check the rules panel for a published RTP or house edge.
Before you play sic bo
- Big and Small are the cheapest options. High-payout bets are the most expensive.
- Dice have no memory. Three Bigs in a row don't make Small more likely.
- Work out your expected loss: RM10 × 100 rounds on Big = RM1,000 wagered, an expected loss of about RM28. The same amount on a specific triple at 150:1 is expected to lose about RM301.
- Set a limit before you play. See the responsible gambling guide.
