Sicbo Bets Explained: Big, Small, Totals and Triples

Sicbo conditions: three dice, a shaker and a layout full of bets that look alike but carry very different odds. Every roll has 216 possible outcomes, and every bet on the table is a slice of those 216.
Big and Small take the widest slices. Totals, doubles and triples take thin ones, and they pay more for it. On phsky.la, 22 sicbo tables stream on the LIVE tab, with software versions in the SLOTS lane.
Sicbo bets and the real chance of each
| Bet | Wins when | Rolls out of 216 |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 4 to 10 total, no triple | 105 |
| Big | 11 to 17 total, no triple | 105 |
| Odd or Even | Total odd or even, not a triple | 105 |
| Single number | That number shows on at least one die | 91 |
| Total of 10 or 11 | The three dice add up to that total | 27 each |
| Total of 4 or 17 | The rarest totals | 3 each |
| Specific double | At least two dice show that number | 16 |
| Any triple | Three of the same face | 6 |
| Specific triple | All three show your number | 1 |
A triple of any number defeats Small, Big, Odd and Even together, a rule Evolution’s own description spells out. Payouts on the other rows depend on the table, so compare the paytable with the column on the right before you stake.
Working through Big at ₱50 a roll
Purely hypothetical arithmetic, at even money. In 216 rolls, Big wins 105 times and loses 111 times: 105 × ₱50 won against 111 × ₱50 lost. That is ₱300 behind over 216 rolls, or about ₱1.39 per roll, close to 2.8% of each stake.
A sicbo session of 100 rolls at ₱50 commits ₱5,000. On that average it costs about ₱139, before any short-run swings. The same habit on a specific triple swings far wider, which is why it suits a tiny stake, not a big one.
Super Sic Bo and Lightning Sic Bo
| Table | What changes |
|---|---|
| Super Sic Bo | Boosts as high as 1000x on random spots each round |
| Lightning Sic Bo | 20% added to each bet; boosts from 5x up to 2000x land on at least four spots |
| Speed Super Sic Bo | The Super Sic Bo rules on a quicker clock |
| Emperor Sic Bo | Evolution’s themed version, listed twice on the tab |
The first two descriptions come from Evolution’s site. The fee on Lightning Sic Bo is paid on every round, boosted or not, so it raises the cost of a session even when no lightning strikes your spot.

The perya cousin with three coloured dice is the Color Game and its 12 versions. For a quicker even-money choice with cards, see the Dragon Tiger tie rule, and roulette’s red or black works on the same shape at the roulette payout table. Every other family is on the live dealer games hub. These tables sit inside the brand’s own lobby, opened with its register fields and captcha; Join 76JL buttons here take you to 76JL, not to that lobby.
How to Get Started
-
Open on the two even-money bets
Big and Small land close to half the time and carry the smallest cost on the layout. Learn the rhythm of the shaker on those before anything else.
-
Check each table's payout panel before totals or triples
Payouts on totals and triples change from studio to studio. Check the table's panel before staking on any of them.
-
Treat multipliers as weather, not climate
Both Evolution multiplier tables add random boosts. They change single rounds, not your long-run cost, so keep the stake fixed.
