Sic Bo, meaning "dice pair" is an ancient
Chinese gambling game. Today it is one of the lesser known casino
games and is often confined to designated rooms for Asian games.
The game uses three dice and a table with a variety of betting options
on the roll of those dice. The odds and table layout may also vary
from place to place. If you must play Sic Bo I would suggest sticking
to only the 'low' and 'high' bets.
Following is a list of the best available. This
information is based on the games at the Riviera in Las Vegas and
the Trump Plaza in Atlantic City. All Atlantic City casinos likely
follow the same rules. The Mirage in Las Vegas also offers sic bo
and follows the Atlantic City rules.
