Sic Bo is a traditional Chinese dice game. It is often known as Tai Sai, Dai Siu, Big and Small, or Hi-Lo. In the game, players bet on the outcome of three dice rolled by the dealer. When it comes to playing Sic Bo at mobile casinos in Uganda, the rules remain largely the same.
Players can place a variety of bets, from odds and evens to triples and specific numbers. The dealer then rolls three standard six-sided dice. Depending upon the bet, players can win, lose, or push (i.e., the bet stands, but no money is won or lost).
The most common Sic Bo bet is the Big bet. This bet is won if the total of all three dice is between 11 and 17. Players who bet on Big will lose if the total is under 11, and will receive their money back if the total is exactly 11 or 17.
The Small bet is the opposite, and is won if the sum of the dice is between 4 and 10. As with Big, Small bets will lose on totals under 4, and will push on totals of 4 or 10.
