Online Sic Bo as we know it today, actually started a long time ago and therefore this game has a long history. It is originated in ancient china then spread rapidly throughout Asia. Some people say that the original game involved a game of two bricks, which later evolved to use of a dice when playing the game. The name Sic Bo can be translated to mean ‘dice pair’.  These days Sic Bo is played throughout the world with three dice. The original game was played by tumbling the two bricks flanked by two plates and a bowl turned over. As times changed, this was replaced by a dice shaker.

Chinese immigrants introduced the game in America at the start of the 20th century. However, it was never popular in North America casinos until recent years. A variation of the game called birds’ cage or chuck-a-luck was offered in some of the casinos for sometime. However, people later reverted to the ordinary Sic Bo. In some parts of the world, Sic Bo is referred to as Tai Sai or ‘lucky dice’. In some countries such as Philippines, the game is called Hi lo while in Maccu it is called Dai Siu or Big small. This is a reference to one of the popular bets in the game. The game has retained its popularity all over south east Asia, Korea and china. Its popularity in western countries can be attributed to its inclusion in Hollywood movies.

Sic Bo has also established itself as a popular online game, which allows people to play free for their enjoyment or to make money. With today’s technological advancements and the constant changes in the Sic Bo game, maybe even the physical dice will become obsolete in time. Electronic gambling is gaining momentum therefore the story of Sic Bo will include the electronic side over time.
