| Updated: Launched in the spring of 2019, Super Sic Bo is a simple yet highly enjoyable live dice game from Evolution Gaming’s Lightning series. The renowned studio has reinvented the classic dice game by introducing randomly generated multipliers that can boost winnings by up to 1,000x.
Rundown of the Rules and the Payouts
Super Sic Bo borrows its core rules from an ancient Chinese game whose name translates to “precious dice.” Based entirely on chance, the game uses three dice with face values ranging from 1 to 6. The player’s goal is to predict the outcome of the roll.
The live dealer is positioned behind an elaborately decorated round table. Once bets are placed, the three dice are shaken in a special dice shaker to ensure unbiased results. The game supports a variety of bet types, each offering a different payout. The betting options include:
- Small/Big bets pay even money and win whenever the total of the three dice falls within the Small range (4 through 10) or the Big range (11 through 17).
- Odd/Even bets offer even-money payouts when the total of the three dice is odd or even, depending on the selected wager. Odd/Even and Small/Big bets lose when a Triple is rolled.
- Total bets are wagers on individual totals from 4 through 17, with 3 and 18 excluded. The player wins whenever the dice add up to the chosen number. Payouts depend on the winning total and the number of possible combinations that produce it.
- Single bets cover one of the six possible face values. The bet wins if the selected number appears on at least one die.
- Double bets pay 8 to 1 if the selected number appears on at least two of the three dice.
- Triple bets return a payout of 150 to 1 if the selected number appears on all three dice. The Any Triple bet is a variation that pays 30 to 1 when all three dice show the same number, regardless of which number it is.
- Combination bets cover any of the 15 possible two-number combinations. They offer a payout of 5 to 1.
Gaming Interface and Remarkable Features
Evolution Gaming has added an intriguing twist to this straightforward yet exciting live dice game. When the betting period ends, the dealer presses a button to shake the three dice in the dice shaker. Randomly generated multipliers are applied to one or more spots on the betting layout before the three dice come to rest.
The selected number or combination is then highlighted on the betting layout. If the player has wagered on a betting spot with a multiplier, the payout is boosted accordingly. Without a multiplier, the regular odds listed above apply. When a multiplier is active, the game can boost a player’s payout by up to 1,000x their stake. The interface also includes a roadmap showing the patterns of Small, Big, and Triple results, detailed statistics, a chatbox, and a switch-view feature.
