Sickbo (sick bo, sicbo, sic bo) rules are quite simple. The player makes any number of bets each time before the dices are trown by the dealer. By the way, player can make different bets at once. Chips are put on the game board by the player according to the bet. After all bets are done the dealer trowns the dices with the help of special gadget which is called popper.

Winners are defined by the correspondence between the rolls of the dices and players' bets. After all wins are distributed between the winners the new game can be started.

Sic bo (Sickbo) bets

There are several kinds of bet in Sickbo. The player can make more then one bet simultaneously. Possible bets are:

Small/Big Bet

Bet on the one number (one number)

Bet on the pair (domino)

Total bet

Double bet (specific double)

Triple bet (specific triple)

Bet on any triple (anu triple)

Small/Big Bet

This is the bet on the total number of rolls on the dices from the range of 'Small' or 'Big'.

If the total number of the points puts together the number from 4 to 10 points then the “Small” bet wins.

If the total number of the points puts together the number from 11 to 17 points then the “Big” bet wins.

The win is paid in correlation of 1:1.

Note: Neither “Small” no “Big” bet wins in case three equal numbers occurred.

Bet on the number (one number)

This bet means the chosen number occurs on the dice as oftener as possible. The player selects the number from 1 to 6 and places it at the correspondent field on the game board. If the chosen number occurs 1 time on one dice, the bet is paid in correlation of 1:1, if it occurs on two dices simultaneously – the bet is paid in correlation of 2:1, if it occurs on 3 dices simultaneously – the bet is paid in correlation of 12:1.

Bet on the pair (domino)

This bet is on any pair of numbers from the list of fifteen possible combinations, which can occur on two dices at once. For instance 2 and 5, 3 and 4 and etc. In case both numbers occurred the win is paid in correlation of 6:1.

Total bet

This bet is on the totall sum of numbers having occurred on three of dices at once. The sum can be from the range of 4 to 17. The payment of win depends on the sum the bet was done on. The correspondence between the sum and the payment is illustrated in the table below:

General sum	The correlation of win’s payment
4	60:1
5	50:1
6	17:1
7	12:1
8	8:1
9	7:1
10	6:1
11	6:1
12	7:1
13	8:1
14	12:1
15	17:1
16	30:1
17	60:1

Double bet (specific double)

This bet is on the occurring of the same number on two of the dices simultaneously, for example 4+4 and etc. If the chosen number occurred at least on two of dices the win is paid in correlation of 10:1. In case the chosen number occurred on all three dices then the win is paid in correlation of 30:1.

Triple bet (specific triple)

This bet is on the occurring of the same number on all three dices, for example 3+3+3 and etc. If chosen number occurred in three of the dices the bet is paid in correlation of 180:1.

Bet on any triple (any triple)

This bet wins in case of ANY number occurred on all three dices. The win is paid in correlation of 30:1.
