Sic Bo on eBET: From Macau's Dai Siu to Your Phone
Known as dai siu in Macau and hi-lo in the Philippines, Sic Bo reached America with Chinese immigrants. eBET's live table keeps the same three-dice idea.
Sic Bo is a dice game with deep roots in Asia, and it's widely played in Macau casinos. eBET offers it as a live table, with a dealer rolling real dice on camera.
A game with many names
In Macau you'll often hear Sic Bo called dai siu, which means big and small. In the Philippines a version of it turns up as hi-lo. It reached the United States with Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century and is now found in many American casinos too.
The names change, but the core idea has stayed the same everywhere it has gone: three dice, and a bet on what they'll show.
How eBET Sic Bo is played
Every bet in Sic Bo is a prediction that a particular condition will be met once the three dice are rolled. Some examples of what you can back:
- Big or Small: the total of the three dice falls in the high or low range.
- A total: the dice add up to one specific number.
- A single number: a chosen number appears on one or more dice.
- A triple: all three dice land on the same number.
The less likely the condition, the more it pays. A triple is a long shot, and the payout reflects that. The exact prices are shown on the eBET betting board, so check them before you place chips.
Before you roll the dice at eBET
Sic Bo is pure chance. The dice have no memory, and a run of Big results doesn't make Small any more likely next time. Rounds move quickly on a live table, so set a budget and a per-round stake before you start.
