Now the ancient Chinese game comes to the Mac!!! SicBo is an increasingly popular game, and can be found in many casinos, from Las Vegas to Atlantic City. The game is played with three dice, which the dealer rolls inside a closed container. At the completion of the roll, winning areas are highlited ( light blue in this game ), and paid according to the odds listed on the table. There are over 50 possible betting options, which can be broken down into three categories: Single Die, Two Die, and Three Die wagers.
ﾊ
Betting is simple, simply place your wager in the regions you wish to bet on ( by clicking an area with the mouse ), then roll the dice!! You can roll the dice by either selecting the menu item "Roll Dice", press command-r, or just pressing 'r'. When you win ( as indicated by a light blue highlite ), you will be paid according to the odds listed for that bet. Make small conservative bets, or spread yourself around the board to increase the likelyhood of winning.
To remove a bet, select "Remove Bet" from the "Chips" menu. Your cursor will turn to an "X", then simply click on the bet you wish to remove.
