"Three dice. Ancient Chinese betting board."
Sic Bo is a Chinese-origin dice game played live or via RNG at most SA operators. Three dice are shaken; players bet on totals (3-18), specific triples (e.g., three 5s), specific doubles, or single-number appearances. Payouts and house edge vary dramatically by bet type. Small/Big (total 4-10 / 11-17) bets carry 2.78% house edge; specific-triple bets carry 13.89% edge but pay 180:1.
