The Fun Game of Online Sic Bo
Online Sic Bo is relatively new to online casino gambling. The game used to be rare even at land based casinos and was found mostly in a special room for Asian games. However, once it went to online casinos, its virtual colors and combination bets made it very popular with online casino gambling.
Some Online Sic Bo History
The name Sic Bo originally meant "two Bricks" and was played in ancient China with some kind of small bricks. It changed over the years to "dice pair" which is really a misnomer because it is played with three dice. Sic Bo traveled from China to the West with the large Chinese immigration to the U.S. in the early twentieth century and today is found in all land based casinos. Online Sic Bo became a popular internet game around the end of the twentieth century and hasn't stopped since.
In the world of online casino gambling, online Sic Bo is not as popular as slots or blackjack, but many online gamblers play it as a change from the better known games. It is a fast game with a table similar to the roulette table, but because the winning numbers light up with all kinds of bright colors, it holds its own fascination for players.
A Quick Description of How to Play Online Sic Bo
The aim of the game is to predict the outcome or result of the totals, or combination of totals, of the rolled dice. Online Sic Bo is played with three dice which are rolled or shaken in a special cup or basket. The online Sic Bo table is colorfully marked, and the markings display a variety of possible bets similar to roulette.
Some of the possible bets are:
Big Bet - total score of the three dice will fall between 11 and 17
Small Bet - the total count will fall between the numbers 4 and 10
Single Bet - betting that a specific number (1 thru 6) will show on any one or more of the dice
Two Numbers - a combination of two numbers will show on the dice
Totals Bet - a bet on the total count (4 to 17) of the three dice
Any Pair - a show of a pair of a specific number
Triplets - betting that all three dice will come up with a specific number. This bet has a large house advantage and is considered the worst bet at the online Sic Bo table.
A few other features are important to learn for the online Sic Bo game in addition to the betting options. These are the various "buttons" required for play:
Increase (+) or Decrease (-) - This is the chip selector which indicates the chip size or amount the player wants to bet
Roll - used to start the game by rolling the dice
Clear - this deletes all numbers selected y the player and also clears the table at the end of the game
Undo - this reverses the actions of the "clear" button
Repeat - the repeat button will repeat the player's last table bet
Most online Sic Bo players will tell you that the best odds with the lowest house advantage are made with the Small and the Big Bets. Since the game is completely a game of chance, it is a good idea to place Small and Big Bets at every hand.
In the world of online casino gambling, online Sic Bo has won itself an honorable place for players looking for something different in entertainment.
