What is Sic Bo?

I was browsing through the internet when I bumped into this site that gives a list of approved online casino games in UK. I bumped into this term, Sic Bo which is not often offered in the casino sites where I participate. Out of curiosity, I decided to research a little about this game.

Sic Bo is an ancient game that originated from China. It uses three dices and the objective of the game is to predict which numbers will appear after shaking them on a plate that is covered with a bowl. The game is played by placing chips on the appropriate area of the table. The dealer covers the dices, shakes the bowl and shouts to the players, “Place your bets.” The players are responsible in placing their bets on the appropriate area on the table and betting ends when the dealer shouts, “No more bets.” There are different types of bets and corresponding pay-out odds for each one.

On the other hand, modern casinos mechanically shake the dices and the numeric value of each dice is keyed into the computer and the winning combinations light up on the Sic Bo table. Sic Bo is one of the simplest casino games and it also provides the players a bigger chance of winning, but the amount you win still depend on the odds.
