Sic Bo game play
How to play
1. Click New Game, then select a stake by clicking on the bet tokens (chips) at the bottom of the screen. These represent actual values in your chosen currency:
2. To place your bet, hover your mouse over the Sic Bo table. Potential bet selections should change colour as you move over them.
3. Click on a single number or sequence of numbers on the table. The chip you have last clicked on will now appear on that position on the table. You may place as many different bets as you wish, provided each bet is within a specific limit. For details of the types of bet you can place in Sic Bo see the table below.
4. Click the Roll button to roll the dice. Three dice will be rolled inside their chamber. You can triple or double your original stake by selecting appropriate buttons. You can also clear selected stakes, or undo you last move.
5. If the dice do not match your predicted numbers, you lose your stake. If your numbers or number sequences are correct, you win the payout associated with that bet. Winning bets will be highlighted on the table. The game ends.
6. Click "Repeat" to play exactly the same bet as the previous game, or select a stake amount from the bet tokens and place a new bet on the table
Bet types and payouts
To win in Sicbo you must predict the outcome of the dice being rolled as detailed in the table below:
| Bet type | Description | Payout | Exceptions |
| Single number |
A bet on a certain number occurring. The bottom row of the table displaying the numbers 1-6. |
Evens: 1-1
|
Win for each instance of number, therefore:
1-1 if one match
2-1 if two matches
3-1 if three matches |
| Two number combinations |
A bet on any two dice numbers occurring (not including same numbers). For example 1 and 3. |
5-1
|
- |
| Three number totals |
A bet on the combined total of all three dice.
The less frequent the odds of each total, the higher the payout - as shown to the right. |
| No: | Pays: |
| 4 |
60-1 |
| 5 |
30-1 |
| 6 |
17-1 |
| 7 |
12-1 |
| 8 |
8-1 |

| 15 |
17-1 |

A result of 3 or 18 is always a loss and does not appear on the table. The only combination for a 3 or an 18 requires a triple being rolled, therefore can be bet on as a triple bet. |
| Small or Big |
A bet on the combined total of the dice, to be either Small (between 4- 10) or Big (11-17). |
Evens: 1-1 |
Lose if triplet is rolled (three 4s, for example) |
| Triple |
Three numbers of the same value, specified before the dice are rolled. |
180-1 |
- |
| Any triple |
Any three dice of identical value. |
30-1 |
- |
| Double or pair |
Two dice of the same number. |

Whether you have 2 or 3 identical numbers, you win only once. |

Sicbo – FAQ
Who am I betting with?
You are betting with Paddy Power bookmaker. We are the bookmaker laying the odds for you, the punter, to take. If you lose your bet, we keep your money. If you win your bet, we pay you your winnings.
Is Sicbo fair?
The game is a game involving fixed odds and you are just as likely to win in any one game as you are in any other. Each game and each number is generated in isolation. Therefore if you have won money on the last five games there is nothing to say you will be less likely to win on the next just because you are on a winning streak.
Can I try the game for free?
Yes. There is an option whereby you can play for fun, and this is well worth doing if you wish to develop a feel for the game before depositing your hard-earned cash!
What is the minimum/maximum I can bet?
£1/€1 is the smallest bet that you can place on any one outcome. The maximum bet you can place is £/€500. Of course, the maximum amount you are allowed to stake within this framework will ultimately be dictated by the available funds that you have in your account at the time.
The game does not download load properly. Why is this?
This problem can be broken down into two more specific complaints, which are as follows:
1. The game is not displaying properly- This will be due to your screen resolution being too small. The game works on a minimum screen resolution of 800 by 600 pixels. To change your screen resolution simply go to your desktop and click on the right-hand mouse button. A menu will pop up and you will need to select 'Properties'. Another box will pop up and you will need to select 'Settings' from the tabs running along the top of the box. From here you will be able to alter your screen resolution.
2. The game is simply not working at all - This may be because you need to download the latest version of Flash Player. After loading the game, you will have received a screen prompt asking you whether you wanted to download the latest version of Flash Player. Downloading this will ensure that you will be able to play the game without any problems. If you ignored or switched the prompt off, you can go to the Macromedia website and download Flash Player from there.
The game seems to be running very slowly. It there anything I can do about this?
Unfortunately not. Our game relies upon your machine, and will run as quickly or slowly as your machine allows. Other than upgrading your computer and its facilities, there is little that can be done with regards to improving the speed of the game on any one machine
