Baccarat Rules
The object of baccarat is to obtain a hand with a
point total closest to 9. Aces count as one; 2 through 9 as their
face value; tens and picture cards count as zero. If the value of
the hand is ten points or more, subtract ten, and the remainder
is the baccarat point value of the hand. For example: 7+6=13=3 and
4+6=10=0
Place your wager on the banker’s hand and/or on the
player’s hand and/or on a tie. The player and the banker are then
each dealt a two-card hand. In certain cases, a third card is dealt
to the player or the banker or both (Third Card Rules). Cards are
dealt from a shoe that holds 6 decks of cards. The decks are shuffled
for each round.
The player closest to 9, wins.
If you bet on the player and the player wins, you are paid 2 for
1 winnings on your bet.
If you bet on the banker and the banker wins, you are paid 2 for
1 minus 5% bank commission (vigorish).
If both the player’s hand and the banker’s hand have equal totals,
the game result is a ‘tie’. If you have placed a bet on the ‘tie’
field, your payoff is 9 for 1.
Third Card Rules
The following baccarat rule chart governs when the
player and/or the banker will automatically be dealt (i.e. “draws”)
a third card in the baccarat game:

Blackjack
Rules
The object of blackjack is for the total of your cards
to be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards, without exceeding 21.
In blackjack, aces count as either 1 or 11, face cards as 10, and
number cards as their face value.
If you receive an ace and a ten-value card as your first two cards,
you have blackjack and win one and a half times your bet (if you
bet was £10, you receive £25). If the total value of your cards
is closer to 21 than the dealer’s, you win as much as you had wagered
(if your bet was £10, you receive £20). If the total of your cards
is more than 21, you “bust” and lose your bet. If you and the dealer
have the same card total (17 and up) neither of you win and your
bet is returned to you in a “push”. Blackjack beats a score of 21.
Sterling House Casino blackjack is played with six decks
and the game follows the standard “Las Vegas Strip” rules, with
the following exceptions:
- The deck is shuffled after each round.
- The player may not split a split hand.
- The player may double after splitting.
- The dealer will not check his hand for blackjack in any case.
- If the player doubles and the dealer’s first card
has of value of 10, and the dealer gets blackjack, the player loses
only the initial bet.
Split
If your first two cards have the same point value,
you may split them into two separate hands by placing a second bet
equal to the original bet. Then you proceed to draw cards. You may
draw as many cards as you like on each split hand, but if you split
two aces, you receive only one additional card for each ace. If
you split two aces and one of your hands totals 21, it is counted
as 21 and not blackjack.
Double
After you are dealt two cards, and think that another
card will allow you to beat the dealer’s hand, you can increase
your bet by an amount up to your original bet or “double” your bet.
Your wager is doubled, and you are allowed to receive one more card.
Insurance
Insurance is considered to be a game of its own within
blackjack. It allows you to try and protect yourself when you think
that the dealer may have blackjack. When buying insurance, you place
half of your initial bet by pressing the Insurance button. If the
dealer does have blackjack, you are paid 2 to 1 on your insurance
bet. If the dealer doesn’t have blackjack, you lose your insurance
bet.

Blackjack Switch
This game is a modification of Blackjack
so, if you are familiar with Blackjack, you will not have any trouble mastering this game. First, read the Blackjack
Switch Rules. Return to this page after you have learned the rules.
To play the game:
- Select a chip by clicking on it. Then click on a bet area
to increase your bet by the chip amount. Every click on the bet area increases
your bet, and every right-click decreases your bet.
- There are two kinds of bet areas – normal and ‘Super Match’
bet. Normal bet area is any of the two larger areas, and the ‘Super Match’ bet area
is the small area. Remember that, by clicking on the normal bet area, you

- After you have placed your bets, select the Deal button.
- Use the Hit, Stand, Double,
Split, Insurance and Switch buttons as required.

Game. Then place a bet as described above and select the Deal
button, or select Rebet to place the same bet placed in the
previous round.
Super Match
This is an optional bet, you do not need to place a super
bet to play the game. To place a super bet, place the chip(s) in the small
circle between the normal bet areas. Super bet wins if your 4 initial cards
have 2 or more cards of the same kind (pair of Jacks, three Aces etc.) The
win ratios are written on the table.

Blackjack Switch
Rules
The object of Blackjack Switch is for the total of your cards in
either hand to be closer to 21 than the dealer’s cards, without exceeding 21. Card
values are the same as in standard Blackjack – aces count as either 1 or 11, face
cards as 10, and number cards as their face value.
The rules are the same as in standard Blackjack (see here) -
except you have two hands, which you play in turn – first the right and
then the left one, then the dealer plays his hand. AS in standard Blackjack, you may split, double,
take insurance etc.... Another exception
from the standard Blackjack is that the dealer always hits soft 17 – meaning
he always draws one more card when he has 17 with an ace counted as 11. Also,
‘Blackjacks’ pay 1/1 instead of 3/2. However, more ‘Blackjacks’ are created
in this game due to the ‘switching’ option. (See below).
Switch
Prior to any hits, you may switch the top cards of your top hands.
Push 22
Dealer will “push” on a total of 22 (except 'Blackjacks' will still win).
What this means is that whenever the dealer's total reaches 22 all bets are 'pushed',
regardless of their total (except if a player has a ‘Blackjack’, which will still win).
Super Match
The small circle between the standard bet areas is the super bet area.
The super bet wins if your initial 4 cards have 2 or more matching cards. For example,
if your right hand is a Queen and a Six, and your left hand a Queen and a King, your
super bet wins. The win ratios are written on the table.
Summary of Rules
Dealer Hits Soft 17
‘Blackjacks’ pay 1/1
Switch top cards of the two hands
All doubles and splitting are allowed
Caribbean
Poker
- First, click on the chips at the lower left of
the screen to place an ante. To remove chips from the ante, right
click on the chips on the table.
Progressive Jackpot Side Bet:
You also have the option to make the progressive jackpot side
bet – click on the coin slit above the Ante field on card
table. The blinking light above the slit turns green. It costs
£1, from which a certain percentage goes to the progressive
jackpot pool. If you receive a flush or higher, you win a certain
percentage of the jackpot (see the winnings table below). The current
size of the jackpot is dispayed on the left side of the table.
To queue chips, click on the coin slit several times. Each click
stores one £1 chip. Every time you start a new game round, one
£1 chip is taken from the queue for the progressive jackpot side
bet. You can queue up to ten chips.
- Now click on Deal to deal the cards. You
will be dealt a five-card hand, face up. No additional cards will
be dealt for the duration of this game round.
- Decide whether to stay in or fold. If you fold
(click on Fold button), you will lose your ante and the
game round is over for you.
If you stay (click on Call), you add double the amount
of your ante to the bet.
- Now the dealer’s cards are flipped over so everyone
can see them. If the dealer’s hand does not include an Ace/King
combination or higher, the dealer does not qualify. You win even
money (1 to 1) on the ante and the additional bet is returned.
If the dealer’s hand includes a combination that is higher than
yours, you lose both your ante and the additional bet.
If the dealer’s hand includes an Ace/King or higher, but your
hand is higher, you win even money on the ante and the additional
bet pays according to the winnings table below:

Craps Rules
The first roll in a Craps round is called the come
out roll. If the dice total is 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 than the point
is established. On the other hand, a total of 2, 3, 7, 11, or 12
on the come out roll ends the round immediately. When the point
has been established, an “ON” puck will be placed on the point.
After the point is rolled, the dice will be rolled continuously until
the same point is rolled again or a 7 comes up.
Pass Line Bets
The pass line bet is placed on the pass line before
the come out roll. If you roll a 7 or 11, you win and the round
is over. If you roll a 2, 3, or 12, it is craps and you lose. Any
other number (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10) becomes the point. You win
the pass line bet if the point is rolled before a 7. You lose the
pass line bet, if a 7 is rolled before the point. A winning pass
line bet pays even money (1 to 1).
Don’t Pass Line Bets
A "don’t pass line" bet is the opposite of a pass line
bet, and is placed on the craps table in the “Don’t Pass Bar” before
the come out roll. In a "don’t pass line" bet, you are betting that
the shooter will roll 7 before rolling the point. You win on the
come out roll if you roll craps (2 or 3), and on any other roll
if it is 7. If the come out roll is 12, a "don’t pass line" bet is
returned to the player in a push. You lose on the come out roll
if it is either 7 or 11, and on any other roll if it is the point.
A winning "don’t pass line" bet pays even money (1 to 1).
Come Bets
To place a come bet, place your chips in the box labeled
Come. You win even money if the next roll is either a 7 or 11. You
lose if the next roll is craps (2, 3, or 12). If the shooter rolls
a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, then that number becomes the come point,
and the come bet is moved from the “COME” bar to the box corresponding
to the come point. If the shooter rolls the come point again before
rolling a 7, you win the bet. If a 7 is rolled first, you lose the
bet. The come bet pays even money (1 to 1).
Don’t Come Bets
A "don’t come" bet is the opposite of a come bet. It
is placed after the come out roll in the “Don’t Come Bar” on the
craps table. If the shooter rolls a 3 or 2, the "don’t come" bet
wins. If the shooter rolls a 7 or 11, the "don’t come" bet loses.
If the shooter rolls a 12, the bet will be returned to the player
in a push.
If the roll is a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10, that number becomes the “don’t
come point,” and the don’t come bet is moved from the “Don’t Come
Bar” to the bar in the upper left corner of the box corresponding
to the "don’t come" point. Once the "don’t come" point is established,
"don’t come" bets win even money (1 to 1) if a 7 is rolled, and lose
if the "don’t come" point is rolled.
Odds Bets
An odds bet is a backup bet on a pass, "don’t pass",
come, and "don’t come" bet. Your maximum bet is three times your original
bet.
Pass odds and come odds pay 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to 2
on a roll of 5 and 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 and 8. "Don’t pass"
odds pay 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 and
9, 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 and 8.
Unlike original pass, "don’t pass", come, "don’t come" bets, and unresolved
odds bets can be removed from the table during play.
Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a "pass line odds" bet by clicking on the craps
table outside of the “PASS LINE” bar, under your original pass line
bet. A winning pass line odds bet pays true odds: 2 to 1 on a roll
of 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of
6 or 8.
Don’t Pass Line Odds Bets
Place a "don’t pass line odds" bet by clicking on the
right side of your original bet in the “Don’t Pass Bar”, exactly
on the 6x6 dice image. A winning don’t pass line odds bet pays
true odds: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10, 2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or
9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8.
Come and Don’t Come Odds Bets
Come and "don’t come odds" bets are placed beneath the
Come and Don’t come bets, after they have been moved to the point’s
box.
A winning come bet odds pays: 2 to 1 on a roll of 4 or 10, 3 to
2 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 6 to 5 on a roll of 6 or 8.
A winning don’t come bet odds pays: 1 to 2 on a roll of 4 or 10,
2 to 3 on a roll of 5 or 9, and 5 to 6 on a roll of 6 or 8.
Field Bets
A field bet bets that the next roll of the dice will
be a 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, or 12. To place a field bet, place your
chips in the Field bar. If the shooter rolls a 2 or 12, you get
paid double your initial bet (2 to 1). If a 3, 4, 9, 10, or 11 comes
up, you get paid even money (1 to 1). You lose the bet if a 5, 6,
7, or 8 is rolled.
Big 6 and Big 8 Bets
Place your chips in the box marked Big 6 or Big 8.
If the number you select is rolled before a 7, you win even money
(1 to 1).
Place Bets
Place bets are made on: 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, or 10. Place
your chips in the box underneath these numbers. You are allowed
to make place bets at any time. You win if the shooter rolls your
number before a seven. Winning place bets are paid: 7 to 6 on numbers
6 and 8, 7 to 5 on numbers 5, and 9, and 9 to 5 on numbers 4 and
10.
Buy Bets
A buy bet is the same as a place bet with the exception
of the payout. To distinguish the buy bet from a come bet, the
buy bet is labeled with a “BUY” marker When winning a Buy bet, a
5% commission (vigorish) is charged. Your winnings are paid at true
odds: 6 to 5 on numbers 6 and 8, 3 to 2 on numbers 5 and 9, and
2 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10.
Lay Bets
A lay bet is the opposite of a buy bet. A lay bet
is labeled with a “LAY” marker. It bets that a 7 will be rolled
before a 4, 6, 8, 9, or 10. It is a bet against the dice, which
means you win if a 7 is rolled before the number you selected. When
winning the Lay bet, a 5% commission (vigorish) is charged. Lay
bet winnings are paid at true odds: 5 to 6 on numbers 6 and 8, 2
to 3 on numbers 5 and 9, and 1 to 2 on numbers 4 and 10.
Any 7 Bets
Place your chips in the area “Seven”. You win this
bet if a 7 is rolled on the next toss of the dice.
This bet pays 4 to 1.
Any 11 Bets
Place your chips in the box with the two dice that
add up to 11. You win this bet if an 11 is rolled in the next toss
of the dice. If 11 is rolled, you win 15 times your bet.
Any Craps Bets
In an "any craps" bet, you win if one of the craps numbers
(2, 3, or 12) is rolled in the next toss of the dice. The "any craps"
bet is placed in the “Any Craps” box.
This bet pays 7 to 1.
C & E Bets
The letters C and E represent two different bets:
C bet: This is the same as placing a bet on the “Any Craps” betting
area. Click on the letter C to place your chips in the “Any Craps”
betting area.
E bet: This is the same as placing a bet on the Any 11 bet. Click
on the letter E to place your chips in the “Any 11” betting area.
Horn Bets
Place your chips in the box where the two dice add
up to 2, 3, 11, or 12. The horn bet wins if the shooter rolls a
2, 3, 11 or 12 on the next toss of the dice. A winning horn bet
pays 15 to 1 on the numbers 3 and 11 and 30 to 1 on numbers 2 and
12.
Hardway Bets
A Hardway bet bets that the shooter will roll a 4,
6, 8, or 10 as doubles (2+2, 3+3, 4+4, or 5+5) before rolling a
7. The Hardway bet is placed in the box on the craps table that
contains the two dice that correspond to the number the doubles.
Rolling a number by doubles is said to be rolling the number “the
hard way.” An example is rolling a 4 with a 2 and a 2. An example
of an easy way is rolling a 4 with a 3 and a 1. A winning Hardway
bet pays 7 to 1 on numbers 4 and 10 and 9 to 1 on numbers 6 and
8.

Pai Gow Poker
Pai Gow Poker is a combination of Poker and an ancient
Chinese game known as Pai Gow. In this game, the player receives seven cards, which he/she
splits into two hands – a five card hand and a two card hand. The
object of the game is to beat the dealer.
- First, place a bet by selecting one of the chips on the right of
the table and clicking on the Bet area in the middle of
the table. To remove a chip from the bet field, right click on
it.
- Select Deal.
- You receive seven cards. Leave five of them in
the “Highest” hand and select two that go to the “2nd
Highest” hand. To select a card, simply click on it. The five-card
hand (or the “Highest”) must always outrank the two-card hand
(or the “2nd Highest”). You may also select the House
Way button to enable the computer to select your hands (in a manner
most beneficial to you).
- Select Done.
- The dealer’s cards are revealed. If both the dealer’s
hands are higher than yours, you lose your bet. If one of your
hands is higher and the other is lower, the round results as a
push and your bet is returned. If both your hands are higher,
you win even money on your bet (1 to 1) minus 5% bank commission.
- Select New Game if you want to play another
round. Place a bet again as described above, or click on the Rebet
button to place the same bet as in the previous round.

Red Dog Poker
In Red Dog Poker, number cards count as their face
value, Jack is 11, Queen is 12, King is 13 and Ace is 14. The suit
is irrelevant.
- First, click on the chips at the lower left of
the screen to place a bet. To remove chips from the bet, right
click on the chips.
- Select the Deal button.
- Two cards are drawn. If the cards are consecutive,
it is a push (your wager is returned to you and the round is over).
If the cards are equal, a third card is drawn. If it matches the
first two cards, you win 11 to 1; otherwise it is a push.
- If the two cards are neither consecutive nor equal,
the spread is established. The spread is the number of card values
between the two cards. For example – 2 and 4 have a spread of
1; 6 and a Queen have a spread of 5.
- Now you have the option to raise (double) your
bet or to call (continue without raising). Select Raise
or Call respectively.
- A third card is drawn. If it is between the two
cards, you win according to the payout table (seen on the card
table). If it matches one of the two cards or is outside the spread,
you lose.
- Select New Game if you wish to play again.
Place a bet as described above, or select Rebet to place
the same bet again.

Poker Three
Poker Three contains two games in one. You may bet on one or both games.
Pair Plus:
This is a simple game where you place a bet, receive a hand and get paid
according to your hand. There is no raising or no discarding. To play the game:
- Click on a chip of desired value to select it. Then move
your cursor to the middle of the screen over the area “Pair Plus Bet” and
click on it. Every click on the area adds one chip to the bet. Select another
chip if you wish to increase the bet by some other amount. Right clicking on
the area removes one chip.
- Click the Deal button.
- You receive your hand and your winnings, if any. Click New Game
to start a new game round, then Rebet, to place the same bet as in the previous round.
Here is the winnings table for Pair Plus:
Pair 1 to 1
Flush 4 to 1
Straight 6 to 1
Three of a Kind 30 to 1
Straight Flush 40 to 1
Ante and Play:
This is the second game, slightly more complicated. To play the game:
- First, place an ante. This is done just like placing a Pair Plus bet, except you click
on the “Ante” field, not the “Pair Plus Bet” field.
- Click the Deal button.
- After viewing your hand, decide wether you want to Fold (and lose your ante)
or Call (place another bet that equals your ante and see the dealer’s hand). Click on either
Fold or Call button. If you fold, you also lose your Pair Plus Bet, if one was made.
However, if your Pair Plus Bet paid anything, it is not likely that you want to fold.
- If you Call, your hand is now compared to the dealer’s hand. The dealer needs a Queen
or better to qualify. Here are the possible outcomes:
Dealer does not qualify: Ante wins 1 to 1, play bet is returned
Dealer qualifies and player beats dealer: Both play and ante win 1 to 1
Dealer qualifies and dealer beats player: Both play and ante lose
Dealer qualifies and dealer ties player: Both play and ante push
In addition the Ante bet has an extra bonus that does not depend on the dealer's hand:
Straight 1 to 1
Three of a Kind 4 to 1
Straight Flush 5 to 1
- Click New Game to start a new game round, then Rebet to place the same
bet as in the previous round.

RoulettePro Rules
There are many different ways to place roulette bets.
Each bet covers a different set of numbers and has a different distribution,
as shown in the "Winnings Table" section. Sterling House Casino
offers you one-zero roulette -- with only one 0 -- for improved
odds of winning.
You can place the Announces or Call Bets by selecting a chip and then clicking on the Voisin, Tiers, Orphans, Neighbours or Finals button.
Voisin – this is a bet on all numbers of the "Voisins" arc: 22, 18, 29, 7, 28, 12, 35, 3, 26, 0, 32, 15, 19, 4, 21, 2, 25. These are all the numbers on almost a half of the Roulette wheel, including the zero. You need nine chips of your selected value. The chips are placed as follows: one split bet on each of the numbers 4/7, 12/15, 18/21, 19/22, 32/35, two chips on the triplet ("street bet") 0-2-3 and two chips on 25-29 ("corner bet").
Tiers – You place six chips to cover the numbers 27, 13, 36, 11, 30, 8, 23, 10, 5, 24, 16, 33. This is called the Tier arc on the Roulette board. One chip goes on each of the following splits: 5/8, 10/11, 13/16, 23/24, 27/30, 33/36. The true profit on this bet is: 17 + 1 - 6 = 12 chips. So the payout is 12:6 or 2:1.
Orphans – You bet on numbers 17, 34, 6, 1, 20, 14, 31, 9. This is called the Orphans arc on the Roulette board. You give five chips to the dealer, which are placed as follows: one straight on the number 1 and one split bet on every one of the numbers 6/9, 14/17, 17/ 20, 31/34. Note that number 17 participates in two splits (14/17 and 17/20).
Neighbours – Bet on number and neighbouring numbers on the right and on the left of this number. This bet is played with five chips. For example, "8 and the neighbors" means that the player places a bet on five consecutive numbers 11-30-8-23-10 (8 is in the middle). The true payout is 35 + 1 - 5 = 31 chips.
Finals – You bet on all of the numbers that have the same last number. For example, "final 5" means a bet on the numbers 5, 15, 25, 35. You need four chips, one straight bet on each number. If one of these numbers wins, you are paid regular Straight bet winning amount on that number. So your profit will be 35 + 1 - 5 chips = 31 chips.
Straight Up
You can bet on any number, including 0, by placing
a chip on the center of a number.
Split Bet
You can bet on two numbers by placing a chip on the
line that divides the two numbers.
Street Bet
You can bet on three numbers by placing a chip on
the inner left boundary line of the roulette table that is next
to the corresponding row of three numbers.
Corner Bet
You can bet on four numbers by placing chips at the
corner where the four numbers meet.
Four Bet
You can bet on the numbers 0, 1, 2, and 3 by placing
your chip on the inner left boundary line between 0 and 1.
Line Bet
You can bet on two street bets (i.e., the six different
numbers in two rows of three numbers), by placing your chip on the
inner left boundary line where the line dividing the two rows intersects with
it.
Column Bet
There are three boxes labeled "2 to 1" at
the bottom of a column of numbers. You can place bets for all of
these numbers by placing your chip in one of these boxes. If any
of the numbers in your column is hit you get paid 2:1; 0
is a losing number.
Dozen Bet
You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing
your chip in one of the three boxes marked "1st 12," "2nd
12," or "3rd 12." If one of your 12 numbers is hit,
you are paid 2:1; 0 is a losing number.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High Bets
You can place a bet in one of the boxes on the left,
long side of the table that covers half of the roulette table numbers
(excluding the 0). Each box covers 18 numbers. You win even money
(1 to 1) on all of these bets; 0 is a losing number.
Winning Number Display
The winning number display shows the results of the
previous 13 spins.

American Roulette Rules
There are many different ways to place roulette
bets in American Roulette. Each bet covers a different set of numbers
and has a different distribution, as shown in the "Winnings Table" section.
We offer double-zero roulette -- with 0 and 00 -- for more betting options.
Straight Up
You can bet on any number, including 0 or 00, by placing the chip on the center of a number.
Split Bet
You can bet on two numbers by placing a chip on the line that divides the two numbers.
Street Bet
To bet on a row of three numbers (a street), place a chip on the boundary line of the
roulette table, at the end of the corresponding row.
Corner Bet
You can bet on four numbers by placing chips at the corner where the four numbers meet.
Five Bet
You can bet on the numbers 0, 00, 1, 2, and 3 by placing your chip on the boundary line,
where the line between 0 and the first row intersects it.
Line Bet
You can bet on two street bets (i.e., the six different numbers in two rows of three
numbers), by placing your chip on the boundary line of the roulette table where the line
dividing the two rows intersects it.
Column Bet
There are three boxes labeled "2 to 1" at the bottom of a column of numbers. You can place
bets for all of these numbers by placing your chip in one of these boxes. If any of the
numbers in your column is hit you get paid 2:1; 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
Dozen Bet
You can bet on a group of twelve numbers by placing your chip in one of the three boxes
marked "1st 12," "2nd 12," or "3rd 12." If one of your 12 numbers is hit, you are paid
2:1; 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
Red/Black, Even/Odd, Low/High Bets
You can place a bet in one of the boxes on the long side of the table that covers half
of the roulette table numbers (excluding the 0). Each box covers 18 numbers. You win
even money (1 to 1) on all of these bets; 0 and 00 are losing numbers.
Winning Number Display
The winning number display shows the results of the previous 13 spins.

Sic Bo
Sic Bo is a Chinese word for “dice pair”. The game
originated in ancient China. In spite of the name, three
dice are used in the game. The idea of the game is simple – you
make a bet on a certain kind of a dice roll result. Then the dice
are rolled. If the result you bet on does appear, you win; if it
does not, you lose your bet.
·
Click on a chip of desired
value to select it (lower right corner of the screen). Then click
on any bet area on the table to place your bet there (a list of
available bets is shown in the Sic
Bo Bets section). Every click on the area adds
one chip to the bet. Select another chip if you wish to increase
the bet by some other amount. Right clicking on the area removes
one chip. You can place several chips into several areas at the
same time.

Click the Roll
button.
Dice are now rolled and you will see the game result.

Sic Bo Bets
You may place multiple bets at the same time. You
can identify the different bet areas on the table by placing the
cursor on an area and reading the text on the status bar (the
low edge of the screen). Sic Bo features the following betting options:
Small/Big Bet:
Status bar text on these areas is “Small” or
“Big”. Small Bet wins if the total sum of the three dice is between 4 and
10. Big Bet wins on a total of 11 to 18. Neither the Small nor the Big Bet
wins if the three dice are of the same number (three of a kind).
The Small and Big Bet payoff ratio is 1 to 1.
Number Bet:
Placing a number bet indicates that you want a specific number
to appear on as many dice as possible. Select a number from 1 to
6 and place your chip(s) on the corresponding area. Status bar
text for these areas is “One”, “Two”, “Three”, etc.
If the chosen number appears 1 time your bet pays
1 to 1, if it appears 2 times your bet pays 2 to 1 and if it appears
3 to 1 your bet pays 3 to 1.
Pair Bet:
Place a bet on any of the 15 possible two dice combi |
