- in many of your major gambling establishments. The game is
- played with three dice.
-
- The object of the game is to select the individual numbers or
- combinations of numbers that will appear on the dice after
- they're shaken and exposed. The betting layout of Sic Bo has a
- variety of 5O different possible wagers and the payoff for each.
- The payoffs vary from even money to 15O to 1. A player may bet
- on a single die outcome, on two of a kind, on three of a kind,
- or on different combinations of two or three of the dice.
-
-
