Last Sunday, the American classic Seven Eleven was presented to you as a prelude to the dice games. Dice have been known as game material for a very long time. They also found their way into online casinos and are also popular in casinos worldwide. In the Asian region Sic Bo is very common and was probably brought to the USA by Chinese emigrants at the beginning of the 20th century. Sic Bo, also called Chuck a Luck, and the even more exciting variant Super Sic Bo on Casino777.ch we will present to you today.
Sic Bo game procedure and basic rules
Dice
Sic Bo is played with three dice. The dice are in a container (cage, birdcage) or under a glass dome. The cage is rotated, the dice are shaken in the glass dome to ” roll ” them. The dice are not rolled by hand. You bet on the result of the three dice in different ways.
Table
On the Sic Bo table the possible ways of betting are printed on a glass plate. The bets that have won are illuminated as soon as the dice are rolled. In the casino, the dealer must type in the numbers by hand.
Betting options and payout odds
The payout odds vary from provider to provider, the payouts listed here are the “base payouts” of Super Sic Bo on casino777.ch without the possible multiplier chances.
Super Sic Bo
Now what’s so “super” about Super Sic Bo? In contrast to the classic Sic Bo with fixed payouts, the payouts of Super Sic Bo are increased by a random generator. After the time to place bets has expired, multipliers light up on some betting fields. This will increase the odds on these fields and you can win about 999:1 for a triple. So for a bet of only CHF 10,– a wonderful payout of CHF 10’000,– is possible!

Variants of Sic Bo
Often, especially in Asia, people play with dice that use symbols instead of numbers. The betting possibilities are simplified
Yee Hah Hi (fish-shrimp-crab)
There are six symbols and three colours. Two symbols are assigned to each colour:
Red: fish and cock; green: scorpion and crab; blue: pumpkin and coin.
The possible ways to bet:
- All same color: You win if all three dice are the same color.
Payout ratio: 7:1 - Exactly two of a certain color: You win if exactly two dice of your chosen color were th rolled. For example, you bet on blue and win if two dice are blue.
Payout ratio: 3:1 - Exactly one of a specific color: Wins when exactly one die is the color you bet on.
Payout ratio: 1:1
Hoo Hee How
Hoo Hee How is very similar to Yee Hah Hi, uses the same symbols, but different ways of betting.
The possible bets:
There are six bets available, one for each symbol.
Payout odds:
- 1:1 if the symbol is thrown once
- 2:1 if the symbol is thrown twice
- 3:1 if the symbol is thrown three times
Mathematically speaking, this corresponds to the singles in Super Sic Bo, without the possibility of a multiplier. Therefore you have a much better chance of winning in Super Sic Bo.
