Sic Bo is a popular Chinese game also known as “Big and Small”, “Tai Sai” and “Treasure of the Dice”.
Sic Bo is a unique game that is played by throwing three dice.
It is played using three dice contained within a closed glass tumbler, on a table that lights up the winning combinations.
After the dealer has invited players to “place your bets”, the dice tumbler is covered by a device called the "Bell”. The tumbler is then activated by the dealer pressing a button on an electronic keypad. Players can place their bets until the dealer announces "no more bets”. At that moment the dealer uncovers the dice tumbler and announces the result by reading the upper side of each die in order from lowest to highest.
50 combinations of bets can be played on the Sic Bo table.
