Bitcoin sic bo is the three-dice game from China played with crypto at an online casino, either as an RNG table or as a live-dealer stream. The best bets are Small and Big, which pay 1 to 1 with a 2.78% house edge; most other bets on the layout cost you between 7.87% and 18.98% of every stake on the common paytable. Below are the casinos where we found sic bo in the lobby in October 2026, followed by the rules, the full odds table and how bonuses treat the game.

Availability note: every casino listed here is for international players outside its restricted list. None of them accepts players from the US or the UK. US readers can see our separate page on crypto casinos that take US players.

What is sic bo?

Sic bo is a dice game of chance from China; the name is usually translated as “precious dice”, and it is also known as tai sai or dai siu (“big small”). A dealer shakes three dice in a covered shaker, players bet on what the dice will show, and the result settles every bet at once. There is no decision to make after the roll, so the only skill involved is choosing which bets to make and how much to stake.

Online, you meet it in two forms. RNG tables (Belatra, BGaming and other studios) use a random number generator and settle in a second or two. Live tables stream a real shaker from a studio, with a betting window before each roll. Crypto casinos simply let you fund either version with BTC, ETH, USDT or another coin.

Sic bo terms you will see on the table

  • Small / Big: total of 4 to 10 (Small) or 11 to 17 (Big). Both lose if a triple lands.
  • Odd / Even: on whether the total is odd or even, again losing on any triple. Not every game offers them.
  • Total: a bet on one exact sum from 4 to 17.
  • Specific triple: all three dice show the number you picked.
  • Any triple: all three dice match, whatever the number.
  • Specific double: at least two dice show your number.
  • Combination (domino): two different numbers you choose both appear.
  • Single number: pays 1, 2 or 3 to 1 depending on how many dice show your number.

How to play Bitcoin sic bo, step by step

  1. Pick a licensed casino. Check the licence number in the footer against the regulator’s register (see our Curaçao Gaming Authority explainer).
  2. Deposit crypto. Copy the deposit address for the coin and network the cashier shows, send a small test amount first, then the rest once it is credited.
  3. Set your stake. Decide a session budget in fiat terms before you start, because coin prices move while you play.
  4. Choose chips and bets. Click the layout to place chips; most games let you rebet or double the previous round with one click.
  5. Watch the roll. The dice settle, winning areas light up and payouts are credited to your balance.
  6. Withdraw. Request a payout to your own wallet address on the same network you used to deposit.

Sic bo payouts and house edge

Three dice give 216 equally likely outcomes, so every bet can be priced exactly. The table uses a paytable that is common in online sic bo (for example the 6 to 1 totals that produce Belatra’s lowest stated RTP of 81.02%); the probabilities are fixed, the payouts are not, so always open the game’s help screen. House edge figures follow from the payout and probability, and match the per-payout tables published by the Wizard of Odds.

Bet Typical payout Ways out of 216 House edge
Small or Big 1 to 1 105 2.78%
Odd or Even 1 to 1 105 2.78%
Single number (1, 2 or 3 matches) 1, 2 or 3 to 1 91 7.87%
Total 7 or 14 12 to 1 15 9.72%
Total 8 or 13 8 to 1 21 12.50%
Total 10 or 11 6 to 1 27 12.50%
Total 5 or 16 30 to 1 6 13.89%
Any triple 30 to 1 6 13.89%
Total 4 or 17 60 to 1 3 15.28%
Specific triple 180 to 1 1 16.20%
Two-number combination 5 to 1 30 16.67%
Total 6 or 15 17 to 1 10 16.67%
Specific double 10 to 1 16 18.52%
Total 9 or 12 6 to 1 25 18.98%

Paytables differ a lot on the long shots. The Wizard of Odds prices Total 4 at payouts from 50 to 1 (29.17% edge) up to 65 to 1 (8.33%), and Total 5 from 18 to 1 (47.22%) up to 32 to 1 (8.33%). One unit of payout on a long shot can swing the edge by several points, which is why the help screen matters more in sic bo than in most table games.

Worked example: what a session costs

Say you stake 0.0005 BTC per round on Big for 200 rounds. That is 0.1 BTC in total bets, and at a 2.78% edge the average cost is 0.00278 BTC. Put the same 0.1 BTC through Total 9 at 6 to 1 and the average cost rises to 0.01898 BTC, almost seven times as much. Results in any single session will swing well above or below these averages; the edge describes the long run.

Live sic bo with multipliers

Live studios have added random multipliers to the classic game. Evolution launched Super Sic Bo in April 2019 with multipliers of up to 1,000x landing on random bet spots before the roll; its Small, Big, Odd and Even bets return 97.22%. Pragmatic Play’s Mega Sic Bo, streamed from its Bucharest studio, works on the same idea: random Mega Multipliers on selected positions, up to 1,000x, across 52 betting positions.

Multiplier games pay less than the standard table on the spots that do not get a multiplier, to fund the boosted ones. The overall return can stay close to the classic game, but the results become much more volatile, so expect longer losing runs between hits. Check the game’s help screen for the reduced base payouts before you bet on totals or triples.

RNG sic bo and provably fair dice games

RNG sic bo is supplied by studios whose games are tested for the casino’s licence. Provably fair verification, where you can check each result with a server seed, client seed and nonce, is mainly found on crypto casino originals such as dice and crash rather than on third-party sic bo titles. If you want a dice game you can verify roll by roll, see our crypto dice games page and our explainer on how provably fair games work.

Sic bo strategy: what actually helps

No betting system beats a game with a fixed negative expectation. Martingale (doubling after a loss) on Small or Big runs into table limits and bankroll limits after a short losing streak; the 2.78% edge is still there on every bet. Tracking “hot” totals does not work either, because the dice have no memory.

What does help:

  • Bet mostly on Small or Big. They are the cheapest bets on the layout.
  • Treat totals and triples as entertainment. If you play them, keep the stake small relative to your Small/Big bets.
  • Compare paytables. Two games can pay 50 to 1 or 60 to 1 on Total 4; the better paytable is free value.
  • Price your session in fiat. A coin’s daily price move is often bigger than the 2.78% house edge on Small.
  • Use the casino’s limits. Deposit limits, loss limits and timeouts are in the account settings of every casino on our list.

Sic bo and crypto casino bonuses

Bonuses rarely suit sic bo. Welcome bonuses are built for slots, and table games count for a fraction of each bet. BitStarz’s bonus terms say table games, live games and instant-win games typically contribute 5% towards wagering. Koru Casino puts roulette, poker, card games, video poker and “other games” at 5%, with live-dealer versions carved out of those rates.

Here is what that means in practice. A 0.01 BTC bonus at 40x needs 0.4 BTC of wagering. At a 5% contribution, you would have to bet 8 BTC on sic bo to clear it, and at a 2.78% edge the expected loss on 8 BTC is 0.2224 BTC, more than twenty times the bonus. For sic bo players a bonus is usually worth declining; cashback or rakeback on real-money play is a better fit where the casino offers it.

Banking: depositing and withdrawing crypto for sic bo

Sic bo stakes are small and frequent, so network fees matter. A deposit on a cheap network (for example USDT on Tron, Litecoin or a layer-2 option where the cashier supports it) loses less to fees than an on-chain Bitcoin transfer at a busy time. Always match the network: sending USDT on the wrong chain to a casino address can lose the funds.

Withdrawal limits and times are set by each operator. BitStarz’s terms target withdrawals within one hour where possible, while Koru Casino lists its limits in its terms; check them before you start a long session, and expect identity checks on larger withdrawals at any licensed casino.

How to choose a Bitcoin sic bo casino

  • Licence you can verify: a Curaçao Gaming Authority, Anjouan or Tobique number that shows as valid on the regulator’s own validator.
  • Both versions: an RNG table for quick play and a live table for the real dice.
  • Paytable shown: the help screen should list every payout before you bet.
  • Low minimums: sic bo rewards small stakes over many rounds.
  • Fair bonus terms: know the table-game contribution before you accept any offer.
  • Player protection: deposit limits and self-exclusion in the account settings; see our responsible gambling page.

Similar games

If you like sic bo’s dice, craps uses two dice and has bets (pass line, don’t pass) with a lower house edge than any sic bo bet. Our table games hub compares the house edge of blackjack, baccarat, roulette and the other classics side by side.

Gambling should stay entertainment. If it stops being fun, use the casino’s self-exclusion tools or contact Gamblers Anonymous (gamblersanonymous.org) for free support.

Sic bo FAQ

What is the best bet in sic bo?

Small and Big are the best standard bets. Each pays 1 to 1 and loses when any triple appears, which gives a house edge of 2.78% (a return of 97.22%). Odd and Even carry the same edge where they are offered. Single-number bets come next at 7.87%; most totals, doubles, triples and combinations sit between 9.72% and 18.98% on the common paytable.

What is the house edge in sic bo?

It depends on the bet. On the common online paytable, Small and Big have a 2.78% edge, a single-number bet 7.87%, Total 7 or 14 at 12 to 1 has 9.72%, Total 9 or 12 at 6 to 1 has 18.98%, and a specific triple at 180 to 1 has 16.20%. Paytables vary between games, so check the help screen of the table you play.

Can you win at sic bo with a strategy?

No staking plan or pattern-reading system changes the house edge, because each roll of three dice is independent. What you control is bet choice and stake size: sticking to Small or Big keeps the edge at 2.78%, while a mix of totals and triples raises your average loss per unit staked.

Is sic bo rigged at online casinos?

Licensed RNG versions use certified random number generators, and live tables roll physical dice in a shaker on camera. The safeguards are the casino’s licence, the game provider’s testing and, on live tables, the visible roll. Play only at casinos whose licence you can check on the regulator’s own register.

Can I play sic bo for free?

Many RNG sic bo games have a demo mode at the casino or on the provider’s site, which is a sensible way to learn the layout. Live-dealer tables such as Super Sic Bo or Mega Sic Bo run in real money only, because every bet is part of a shared round.

Does sic bo count towards a crypto casino bonus?

Usually at a reduced rate. BitStarz’s bonus terms say table games, live games and instant-win games typically contribute 5%, and Koru Casino’s terms put roulette, poker, card games and other non-slot games at 5%. At 5%, a 40x requirement on a 0.01 BTC bonus needs 8 BTC of sic bo bets.

How many bets are there in sic bo?

A full sic bo layout has 52 betting positions: Small, Big, Odd and Even, 14 totals from 4 to 17, six specific triples, Any Triple, six specific doubles, 15 two-number combinations and six single-number boxes. Pragmatic Play’s Mega Sic Bo uses the same 52 positions.
