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.” Entirely based on chance, the game uses three dice with face values of 1 through 6. The player’s goal is to predict the outcome of the roll of the three dice.
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 cumulative 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 whenever the total of the three dice is even or odd. Odd/Even and Big/Small bets lose to Triples.
- Total bets are wagers on individual totals of 4 through 17 (3 and 18 are excluded). The player wins whenever the dice roll adds up to their chosen number. The payouts depend on the exact winning total and the number of possible combinations that yield that total.
- Chips for Single bets cover one of the six face values of the dice. You win if your preferred number appears on at least one die.
- Double bets pay 8 to 1 if the same number appears on at least two of the three dice.
- Triple bets return a payout of 150 to 1 if the same number appears on each of the three dice. The Any Triple bet is a variation of this and pays 30 to 1 when all three dice show the same number, regardless of which one.
- Combination bets cover any or all of the 15 possible combinations that can result from two dice. They offer a payout of 5 to 1.
Gaming Interface and Remarkable Features
Evolution Gaming has added an intriguing twist to this straightforward yet thrilling 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 chosen number or combination is then highlighted on the betting layout. Provided that the player has placed a wager on the betting grid with a multiplier, their payout is boosted accordingly. Without a multiplier, the regular odds we listed above apply. When a multiplier is active, the game can give players a boost of up to 1,000x their stake. The interface also comes with a roadmap showing the patterns of Small, Big, and Triple bets, detailed statistics, a chatbox, and a switch-view feature.
Closing Thoughts
Super Sic Bo is streamed in high-definition quality directly from Evolution Gaming’s main studio in Riga, the capital of Latvia. The game offers solid odds of winning and has a house edge similar to that of single-zero roulette (2.78% for even-money bets in Sic Bo). Give it a try if you crave an authentic, straightforward, and engaging live dice experience.
