GAME OVERVIEW
Mega Sic Bo is a very interesting version of the well-known Chinese game played with three dice.
The objective is to predict the outcome of three rolled dice. The result is based on the total points and combinations.
The Mega Sic Bo layout has 52 betting positions and players may cover one or more at the same time. In each game round, several betting options will be randomly selected and their standard odds will be replaced with “Mega Multipliers” before the dice come to rest and the result is known, giving you a chance to win up to x1000 your stake on some positions. If the combinations you bet on are among the “Mega Lucky Combinations”, you’ll achieve a “MEGAWIN”.
HOW TO PLAY
In Mega Sic Bo, bets must be placed during the betting time on the Sic Bo Layout that displays all available betting positions.
To start playing, wait until the message “PLEASE PLACE YOUR BETS”appears, then select the value of the chip you would like to wager on a given game and place it on the desired betting fields of the layout.
Your total bet will be displayed in the Total Bet window.
Bets can be placed during the betting time until the game Host announces: “BETS CLOSED”. No bets will be accepted after this point.
Bets and Odds
In Mega Sic Bo there are 52 betting options and each bet type has its own payout. Below, all bet types are explained in the order they appear on the bet layout from top to bottom.
Small/Big means the numerical total of three dice being Small (4-10) or Big (11-17). These bets lose if the result is an Any Triple (see below).
Odd/Even means the numerical total of three dice being an Odd (5,7,9,11,13,15,17) or Even (4,6,8,10,12,14,16) number. These bets lose if the result is an Any Triple (see below).
Double is a combination when the same number is showing on two of the three dice after they are rolled. There are six Double bets, from 1 to 6 (e.g. two 3’s). Please note that the payout from a Double does not change if all three dice show the same value.
Specific Triple is a combination when the same number is showing on all three dice after they are rolled. There are six betting areas to bet on a specific Triple from 1 to 6 (e.g. three 5’s).
Any Triple is a betting area located in the centre of the layout and should be selected if you want to bet that any of the numbers from 1 to 6 will appear on all three dice. You cover all types of Triples in one move.
Three Dice Total uses 14 betting areas labelled 4-17. They represent all possible numerical totals of all three dice excluding 3 and 18. The payouts vary depending on the winning total.
Two Dice Combination refers to the 15 possible 2-dice combinations, allowing you to bet on any two specific but different numerical values showing up on the dice (e.g. 1 and 4). All Combinations have the same payout odds of 5:1.
Single uses the six betting areas in the bottom part of the layout labelled “One”, “Two”, “Three”, “Four”, “Five” and “Six” which represent the six face values of a die. The payout varies depending on whether the selected value appears on one, two or all three dice.
The Last Winning Combinations
The Last Winning Combinations are always shown at the bottom of the screen. The most recent combination is on the left.
Game Statistics
The information in the Statistics window can help you to decide which betting options to choose when playing Mega Sic Bo.
On desktop, statistics are available on the screen by default and on mobile devices, the Statistics window can be opened by entering the Menu and selecting Statistics from the list.
Game statistics help players quickly assess the history of the game, identify trends, and attempt to predict future results. In Mega Sic Bo the statistics for the last 100 game rounds are presented on the roadmaps and charts.
Roadmaps are pictorial representations of results and trends distributed on a grid which is always six rows deep by many columns wide, with a minimum height of one circle, and no maximum height.
In the Small/Big tab, each result for Small (S), Big (B) and Triple (T) is shown as a separate circle with the earliest game result recorded in the top-left corner. Results of the same type are recorded in one column downwards until a different type appears. This is recorded at the top of the adjacent column to the right and so on.
In the Odd/Even Tab, the results Odd (O), Even (E) and Triple (T) are shown in the same fashion as on the Small/Big roadmap.
You may scroll each roadmap by pressing the left/right arrows to see the previous results while clicking/pressing anywhere inside the roadmaps will result in switching between letters and numerical total modes.
In the Charts tab, you can find the percentages of all six numerical values, as well as the percentages of Small, Big, Triple, Odd and Even results.
Placing Bets
When placing bets, please pay attention to the following screen elements to make sure your bets are placed on time and successfully validated.

“BETS CLOSED” means that there is no more time to place bets and all betting areas will become inactive.
After the betting time is over, you will receive a “BETS ACCEPTED” message indicating that your bets have been accepted and will participate in the game round. Otherwise you will receive a message stating “NOT ALL BETS ACCEPTED” or “BETS REJECTED” in cases described in the “Game Inconveniences” section of this guide.
A “MEGA MULTIPLIERS” message will be shown on the status bar when the Mega Lucky Combinations are selected with their corresponding Mega Multipliers for the current game round.
The message “WAIT FOR NEXT GAME” is shown if you have no bet placed in the current game round. After it is over, you may place your bets during the next betting time.

No Roll Situations
A game result is valid only when all three dice land flat on the bottom of the shaker after they come to rest.
The situation is called a “No Roll” when:
- one or more dice are leaning against the glass dome of the shaker;
- one or more dice are leaning against another die;
- one die comes to rest on top of another.
In the event of a “No Roll”, a re-spin of the dice will be made based on our standard operating procedures.
Your bets will remain in play until a valid roll is made.
Game Inconveniences
You are personally responsible for the correct positioning of your wagers at any Mega Sic Bo table.
In the event of any technical malfunction or human error, the instance is reported to the Shift Manager immediately.
If any error in the game procedure occurs, the game round is temporarily paused, and the Shift Manager is notified. You will be informed by an on-screen notification that the issue is being investigated.
If the Shift Manager can immediately resolve the error (e.g. by rescanning the cards, placing the cards in the correct positions, etc.) the game round continues as normal.
If immediate resolution is not possible, the game round is cancelled, and initial bets are refunded to all players who participated in the game round.
A bet may be rejected by the system after the betting time is finished due to not being placed in time, not meeting the minimum or maximum requirements, or to other transaction issues.
If you place a wager that is lower than the minimum table bet limit, it is shown as an inactive chip. You will be informed about this via the small tooltip window above your bet. Once the betting time is over, all inactive chips are rejected.
If your bet exceeds any maximum bet limit, it is adjusted automatically, and you will be informed about this via the small tooltip window above your bet.
