Should you play it?

Lightning Sic Bo is Sic Bo with a 20% fee on every bet that pays for random multipliers. Small, Big, Even and Odd are the bets to play: Evolution puts them at 97.22%, while every other bet returns 95.01% at most. The fee makes regular wins thin, so about a sixth of what even the best bets return arrives through multiplied wins.

Play it if

  • You want multipliers on the classic Sic Bo bets
  • You stick to Small, Big, Even or Odd at 97.22%
  • You are happy to pay a fee for a shot at up to 2,000x

Variance profile

Medium. Small, Big, Even and Odd win almost half the time, but part of their return waits on occasional multipliers. Totals, Doubles and Triples land far less often and swing much harder.

Bets and payouts

Even money bets

All four lose to any triple. The first figure is the regular payout; the second is the most a Lightning multiplier can raise it to.

Bet Pays RTP Chance per roll House edge
Small (total 4 to 10) 1 to 1, up to 14 to 1 97.22% 48.61% 2.78%
Big (total 11 to 17) 1 to 1, up to 14 to 1 97.22% 48.61% 2.78%
Even 1 to 1, up to 14 to 1 97.22% 48.61% 2.78%
Odd 1 to 1, up to 14 to 1 97.22% 48.61% 2.78%

Totals

A bet on the exact total of the three dice. A total and its mirror, such as 4 and 17, are separate bets with the same odds.

Bet Pays Chance per roll
Total 4 or 17 (each) 50 to 1, up to 999 to 1 1.39%
Total 5 or 16 (each) 20 to 1, up to 499 to 1 2.78%
Total 6 or 15 (each) 15 to 1, up to 249 to 1 4.63%
Total 7 or 14 (each) 12 to 1, up to 149 to 1 6.94%
Total 8 or 13 (each) 8 to 1, up to 87 to 1 9.72%
Total 9 or 12 (each) 6 to 1, up to 87 to 1 11.57%
Total 10 or 11 (each) 6 to 1, up to 87 to 1 12.50%

Number bets

Chances are for one chosen number or pair.

Bet Pays Chance per roll
Single, one die matches 1 to 1, up to 9 to 1 34.72%
Single, two dice match 2 to 1, up to 19 to 1 6.94%
Single, three dice match 3 to 1, up to 87 to 1 0.463%
Double (two or three of your number) 8 to 1, up to 149 to 1 7.41%
Triple (all three show your number) 150 to 1, up to 1,999 to 1 0.463%
Any Triple 30 to 1, up to 499 to 1 2.78%
Combination (two chosen numbers both show) 5 to 1, up to 99 to 1 13.89%

Each chance is exact: three fair dice give 216 equally likely results.

Every bet also carries the 20% Lightning fee: a $5 bet costs $6 in total.

Evolution's rules put Small, Big, Even and Odd at 97.22% and every other bet at up to 95.01%.

Pays shows the odds on a winning bet, with your stake returned on top. The first figure is the regular payout; the second is the most a Lightning multiplier can raise it to. RTP is the share of all money bet that comes back over a very long run; house edge is the rest. Neither predicts a single session.

How Lightning Sic Bo works

Lightning Sic Bo is Evolution's Sic Bo with Lightning multipliers. Three dice are shaken in a dice shaker, you bet on what they will show, and lightning adds random multipliers to four or more bet spots every round.

1 +20%

Place your bets

Put chips on Small, Big, Even, Odd, Totals, numbers or combinations. A 20% Lightning fee is added to every bet.

2 5x to 2,000x

Lightning strikes

After betting closes, lightning hits four or more random bet spots while the dice are shaken, each with its own multiplier.

3 3 dice

The dice settle

The three dice settle every bet. A winning bet on a struck spot pays its multiplied odds for this round.

How a round runs

You place bets while the timer runs, or while the traffic light on screen is green and then yellow. When betting closes, lightning strikes random bet spots and shows their multiplied payouts, while the dice are shaken in the shaker. The three dice then decide every bet on the grid.

What the 20% fee costs

The fee is added to each bet. A $5 bet on Big costs you $6. If Big wins at its regular 1 to 1, you get $10 back: $5 winnings plus your $5 bet, so you are $4 ahead of the $6 you paid. If it loses, the whole $6 is gone.

What a multiplier changes

A bet spot struck by lightning pays its multiplied odds for that round only. Say lightning gives Big its top payout of 14 to 1 and you have $5 on it: if the dice show Big, you get $70 plus your $5 back. If they show Small or a triple, the multiplier does nothing for you.

The less obvious bets

  • Single is a bet on one number from 1 to 6. It pays 1 to 1 if one die shows it, 2 to 1 if two do and 3 to 1 if all three do.
  • Double is a bet that at least two dice show your number. It pays 8 to 1.
  • Combination is a bet on two different numbers, such as 2 and 5, both showing. There are 15 of them and each pays 5 to 1.
  • Total covers 4 to 17. There is no bet on 3 or 18, which only a triple can make.

The math behind Lightning Sic Bo

Three dice give 216 equally likely results, so every chance here is a count out of 216. The regular odds are fixed in the paytable; the fee and the lightning decide the rest.

Triples beat the even money bets

Small, Big, Even and Odd each win 105 times in 216. The six triples, 2.78% of rolls, beat all four, and at 1 to 1 that alone puts their regular return at 97.22% of the bet, before the fee.

The fee is paid back through multipliers

A $1 bet costs $1.20. At regular odds alone, Small gives back 81.02% of what you paid. Evolution puts its full return, multipliers included, at 97.22%, so about a sixth of what it returns comes from multiplied wins.

Other bets pay further short

At regular odds, before the fee, a Total of 5 returns 58.33% of the bet, a Double 66.67% and a Triple 69.91%. Multipliers lift every one of them, but Evolution puts them at up to 95.01%.

Is there a Lightning Sic Bo strategy?

Only in which bets you pick. The dice and the lightning are random and earlier rolls change nothing, but Small, Big, Even and Odd return 97.22% while every other bet returns 95.01% at most.

Stick to the even money bets

They carry the best return and win almost half the time. Every other bet costs more over time, however big its multiplied payout looks.

Do not cover both sides

$1 on Small and $1 on Big costs $2.40. Unless a triple lands, one wins and you get $2 back; if a triple lands, both lose. It protects nothing and pays the fee twice.

The roadmap is history only

The roadmap and the Small, Big and Triple counts for recent rounds show what happened. Every shake is a fresh set of 216 equally likely results.

What you can control

Your stake per roll

Count the fee: $10 in chips costs $12. Set your budget on what you pay, not on the chips.

How long you play

Even on the best bets, play costs about 2.78% of everything you bet over time. On the other bets it is about 5% or more.

Lightning Sic Bo FAQ

How many bet spots get a Lightning multiplier?

Four or more each round, picked at random after betting closes while the dice are in the shaker. Each gets its own multiplier from 5x to 2,000x, and it only pays if that bet wins.

What is the biggest possible win?

1,999 to 1 on a Triple bet struck by lightning. With your bet returned on top, that is 2,000x the bet.

Does a Double pay more if all three dice match?

No. A Double pays 8 to 1 whether two or three dice show your number. A Single bet is different: it pays more for each extra die that matches.

What happens if the result is unclear or something goes wrong?

If the result is not clear, the service manager can order a re-roll. If the round cannot be fixed, it is cancelled and bets are refunded, and a malfunction voids the round and all its payouts.

What if I lose my connection mid round?

Your bets stay in play and are settled without you. When you reconnect, the outcome shows in your History window.
