Three dice, one shake, and endless betting possibilities. Discover why Sic Bo is one of the most-played live casino games at candy918 for players across Malaysia.
Sic Bo — which translates from Chinese as "precious dice" — is one of the oldest gambling games in Southeast Asia. Originating from ancient China, the game has been a staple in Macau, Singapore, and Malaysian land-based casinos for generations. Its appeal is straightforward: three dice are shaken in a sealed container, and players bet on the outcome. The results are immediate, the pace is fast, and the variety of betting options means both cautious and aggressive players can find a strategy that suits them.
At candy918, Sic Bo is available as a live dealer game streamed in real time, 24 hours a day. Malaysian players from Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Johor Bahru can join a live table instantly from any device — smartphone, tablet, or desktop. There is no need to travel to Genting Highlands or any land-based venue; the full live Sic Bo experience, complete with a professional dealer shaking the dice chest in front of a high-definition camera, is available on demand.
The candy918 platform processes all bets and payouts in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), with no currency conversion required. Winnings are transferred to your account instantly at the end of each round, and withdrawals via Touch n Go eWallet or Boost are typically processed within 15 minutes for verified players. It is one of the fastest payout structures available to Malaysian online casino players today.
candy918 enforces a 21+ minimum age requirement across all live casino games, including Sic Bo. This is consistent with international gaming authority standards. All accounts undergo identity verification (KYC) before withdrawals are approved, ensuring the platform remains a secure and compliant environment for every player.
candy918's live Sic Bo table offers the full range of bets. Here is what each one means and pays.
The most popular bet for beginners. Small wins if the total of three dice is 4–10 (excluding triple), Big wins if the total is 11–17 (excluding triple). The even-money payout and relatively low house edge make this the go-to bet for consistent sessions.
Bet on whether the total of all three dice will be an odd or even number. Like Small/Big, triples void this bet. Simple to understand and widely used by casual players at candy918's tables.
Bet on the exact sum of all three dice (4 through 17). Payouts increase the more unlikely the total — a sum of 4 or 17 pays 60:1, while more common totals like 9 or 12 pay around 6:1.
Choose a number from 1 to 6 and win if it appears on one, two, or all three dice. Payout multiplies with the number of matching dice — three matching dice pays 3:1. A solid mid-range bet popular with candy918 regulars.
Bet that at least two of the three dice will show a specific number (e.g., two fives). Decent payout for a moderate probability outcome, but the house edge is higher than the safer bets.
Win if all three dice show the same number — any triple qualifies. The 30:1 payout is one of the most exciting moments in Sic Bo when it hits, though probability is naturally low.
The highest-paying bet in standard Sic Bo. All three dice must show your exact chosen number. The 180:1 payout is rare but legendary — players at candy918 celebrate a specific triple hit in live chat.
Bet on a specific combination appearing on any two of the three dice (e.g., a 2 and a 5). There are 15 possible combinations, giving this bet relatively frequent wins despite the higher house edge.

Sic Bo is a game of chance — no strategy eliminates the house edge. But these approaches can sharpen your play at candy918.
With a house edge of just 2.78%, these are the most player-friendly bets on the Sic Bo table. Malaysian players who treat these as their primary bets and use higher-risk bets (triples, specific totals) as small side plays tend to sustain their sessions much longer than those who chase high payouts from the start.
A common approach among candy918 regulars is to allocate 70–80% of each round's stake to Small/Big, then place a small side bet on a specific total or any triple. This way, the base bet provides stability while the side bet adds the thrill of a bigger payout potential without draining the bankroll quickly.
Despite their seemingly attractive payouts (6:1 to 8:1), the specific totals in the middle range (9, 10, 11, 12) carry the highest house edges in the game — approaching 19%. They are fine as small entertainment bets but are poor value as the core of a higher-stakes strategy.
At candy918, rounds complete quickly — every 20 to 30 seconds. It is easy to lose track of how many rounds you have played. Set a maximum number of rounds per session (e.g., 50 rounds) alongside your bankroll limit, and stop when either is reached. This is a practical approach recommended by responsible gaming practitioners.
Sic Bo tables display recent results as a road map, similar to Baccarat. Many players interpret streaks of Small or Big results as predictive. They are not — each shake is statistically independent. candy918's dice results are generated by a certified RNG in the live dealer environment, ensuring no outcome is influenced by prior rounds.
When you open a live Sic Bo table at candy918, the experience is significantly different from the old-school flash casino games many Malaysian players remember from the early 2000s. The video stream is high-definition, latency is minimal on a standard 4G or broadband connection, and the dealer is a real person operating in a licensed, professionally lit studio.
The betting interface is overlaid on the live video feed. You see the dice chest, the dealer, and the full betting grid simultaneously. At the start of each round, a countdown timer — typically 20 seconds — gives you time to place your bets. Once the timer ends, the dealer shakes the chest, lifts it to reveal the dice, and the system automatically calculates and credits your winnings. The entire round completes in under 30 seconds, making it one of the fastest-paced live dealer experiences at candy918.
Mobile play is seamless. candy918's live Sic Bo table is fully optimised for smartphones — Android and iOS alike. Players in Petaling Jaya commuting on the LRT, or relaxing at a kopitiam in Penang, can open the game on their phone and join a live table immediately without any app installation. The betting grid is touch-friendly, with clearly labelled areas that adapt to smaller screen sizes.
candy918 operates multiple Sic Bo tables at peak hours, which means you are never waiting for a seat during busy evening periods — typically after 9pm Malaysian time when the working day ends and live casino traffic spikes. Lower-limit tables remain available 24/7, including early morning sessions for shift workers and night owls alike.
For players who are new to Sic Bo, candy918 recommends starting at the casual stake level (minimum RM 5) to get comfortable with the betting grid before moving up. The bet types might look complex at first — there are up to 16 different betting areas on a full Sic Bo table — but in practice, most players focus on three or four bets per round. The Small/Big bet in particular is intuitive enough that anyone can participate from the very first round with minimal prior knowledge.
candy918's platform is built on a foundation of transparency and fair play. The random number generation used for live dice outcomes is independently audited, and the platform publishes its general RTP and fairness commitment in its terms. Player funds are held in segregated accounts separate from candy918's operational capital, and the platform operates under international gaming authority licensing that mandates these protections as a baseline requirement — not optional good practice.
Professional studio stream in real time — watch the dice shake and land with your own eyes, no simulation.
