Sicbo
Sicbo, which literally means " dice pair", is an ancient Chinese gambling game. This name is slightly peculiar since Sicbo is actually played using three standard 6-sided casino dice. But Sicbo may have originally used a pair of dice shaken between a plate and an overturned bowl. This is why Sicbo is also called "Dice-in-a-bowl" at some casinos.
With the option of being able to place more than one bet at a time, playing Sicbo is easy to learn yet exciting, engaging and fun!
Sicbo is similar to the popular English game known as Grand Hazard; and in regards to the way bets are placed and odds given, it is similar to the game known as Big Six. It also shares similarities with roulette since there are many places on the table to place bets.
Sicbo is played in Asia, Nevada and Australia. It is also popular in the Philippines, where it is called 'Hi-Lo.'
Despite Sicbo's ancient heritage, it has only recently enjoyed an upsurge in popularity, possibly in part to its appearance in a number of Hollywood films. However, Sicbo is still one of the lesser known casino games and it is often confined to rooms designated for Asian games.
