AK44 Sic Bo: Dice Bets and Payouts
Quick Summary
- Sic Bo is a dice game: three dice are shaken and you bet on the result.
- Big and Small are the simplest bets; triples usually make them lose.
- Specific totals and triples pay more because they land less often.
- Payouts can vary by table; read the paytable in the AK44 live lobby.
Sic Bo is a dice game with roots in China and a busy betting layout that looks harder than it is. A dealer shakes three dice in a covered shaker, the dice settle, and every bet on the layout is settled at once. This checklist explains the main bet groups, how the payouts compare with the real odds, and how to keep your chips spread sensibly. Check the AK44 live lobby to see which Sic Bo tables are open when you log in.
Before you start: how a round works
Three standard dice are used. Each shows 1 to 6, so totals range from 3 to 18. There are 216 possible combinations, and the payouts are built around how many of those combinations each bet covers.
Bets are placed on a digital layout during the betting timer. When the timer closes, the dealer shakes the dice and the result is shown with the winning areas lit up.
- Place chips during the timer.
- Watch the shaker and the result.
- Check the lit areas and your balance.
- Repeat only if your plan allows another round.
Main bet groups
The layout groups bets by type. Start with the outside bets and only move to specific numbers once you understand how rarely they land.
Payouts below are typical examples. Tables can and do change them, so confirm in the paytable before you bet.
| Bet | Wins when | How often |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Total 4-10, not a triple | Close to half of rounds |
| Big | Total 11-17, not a triple | Close to half of rounds |
| Odd / Even | Total is odd or even, not a triple | Close to half of rounds |
| Single number | Chosen number appears on 1, 2 or 3 dice | Often, pays more for more dice |
| Specific total | Dice add up to a chosen total | Varies; extreme totals are rare |
| Specific double | Two dice show a chosen number | Uncommon |
| Any triple | All three dice match | Rare |
| Specific triple | All three show a chosen number | Very rare |
Watch out: the triple rule
Big, Small, Odd and Even all lose when the three dice show a triple. This is the house edge on those bets. It is easy to forget because triples are rare, but over many rounds the rule matters.
High-paying bets such as a specific triple look attractive. They are also among the bets with the highest house edge on most layouts. Keep any such chip small and treat it as entertainment.
- Check the triple rule on Big and Small.
- Compare the payout with the odds before chasing totals.
- Avoid spreading chips across many areas each round; it raises the total stake fast.
- Set a round count and a budget before the first shake.
Multiplier versions
Some live Sic Bo tables add random multipliers to selected bets each round. A lit bet pays more if it wins, but the standard payouts on other bets are often reduced to pay for this. Read the help screen to see exactly how the multipliers work.
If you like quick dice-style results, compare Sic Bo with roulette, which uses a single ball and a fixed layout of numbers.

Common questions
What is the simplest Sic Bo bet?
Big or Small. Small wins on totals 4 to 10 and Big on 11 to 17, as long as the dice are not a triple. Each wins close to half of the time and usually pays even money, which makes them the easiest bets to manage.
Why does a triple make Big and Small lose?
That is how the house builds its edge into those bets. Without the triple rule, Big and Small would be almost even. The rule is shown in the table paytable, so check it on every table you join.
Which Sic Bo bets pay the most?
Specific triples, where all three dice show a number you chose, pay the most because they land very rarely. Extreme totals such as 4 or 17 also pay highly. These bets usually carry a higher house edge than Big or Small.
Can I predict dice results from the history board?
No. The dice carry no memory from one shake to the next. The history board is a record only, so use it for interest rather than as a basis for raising stakes.
Does AK44 offer live Sic Bo?
