Sic Bo NZ 2026

Sic Bo is a Chinese dice game played with three dice. You bet on the outcome of the three-dice roll. The game is popular across Asia and available at NZ online casinos in both RNG and live dealer formats. Key bets: Small (total 4–10): even-money payout, 2.78% house edge. Big (total 11–17): even-money payout, 2.78% house edge. Triple (all three dice same): 150× or 180× payout, 13.9–16.2% house edge. Totals (specific sum): payouts vary 6× to 60× depending on probability. Sic Bo is one of the few casino games where the best bets have under 3% house edge with a simple even-money wager.

Super Sic Bo is Evolution Gaming's live dealer version of Sic Bo with random multipliers added before each roll. Random multiplier spots (1× to 1,000×) are applied to different bet positions each round. If your winning bet has a multiplier applied, your payout is multiplied by that amount. Base payouts are slightly reduced to account for the multiplier opportunity. Super Sic Bo is available at NZ casinos with full Evolution Gaming suites. The 1,000× multiplier on a Triple bet represents one of the highest potential single-bet payouts in live casino games.

Best Sic Bo bets by house edge: Small (total 4–10): 2.78% HE, even money. Big (total 11–17): 2.78% HE, even money. These two bets are the clear best strategy for Sic Bo. The even-money bets with 2.78% edge compare favourably to American Roulette (5.26%) and Keno (10–15%). Sum bets (specific totals): Sum of 10 or 11 has lowest house edge among totals at ~12.5%. Doubles (two of same): 18.5% HE — avoid. Triples (all three same): 13.9–16.2% — entertainment bets only. Stick to Small and Big for best value play.

Total bets in Sic Bo cover specific sums of all three dice (3 to 18): Sum 3 or 18 (triple): pays 150:1, probability 0.46%. Sum 4 or 17: pays 50:1, probability 1.39%. Sum 5 or 16: pays 20:1, probability 2.78%. Sum 6 or 15: pays 17:1, probability 4.63%. Sum 7 or 14: pays 12:1, probability 6.94%. Sum 8 or 13: pays 8:1, probability 9.72%. Sum 9, 10, 11, or 12: pays 6:1, probability 11.57–12.5%. House edges on total bets range from 9.7–12.5% (much higher than Small/Big). Total bets are for the excitement of chasing a specific number, not for value.
