What is Sic Bo and how savaya presents it
Sic Bo (sometimes spelled "Tai Sai") has roots in ancient China and remains popular across Asia, including Indonesia. The game is elegantly simple: three dice are shaken in a covered container, then revealed. Players place bets on the outcome—whether the total will be high or low, whether specific numbers will appear, whether all three dice will match, or dozens of other combinations. Each bet type carries its own payout, ranging from even money on simple high/low bets to much higher payouts on rare combinations.
On our savaya platform, we present Sic Bo through live video feeds from our dealer studios. You see the shaker, the dice tumble, and the final result in real time. Our interface displays the betting table clearly—all available wagers, their payouts, and the game rules. Before you place your first bet, our savaya team recommends reviewing the payout table so you understand what each bet wins.
Why Sic Bo appeals to our savaya players
Sic Bo combines simplicity with variety. Unlike some games with fixed rules, Sic Bo offers many betting options so you can choose strategies that match your risk appetite. The game also moves quickly—each round typically lasts 30–45 seconds—so you can enjoy multiple rounds in a short session.
On savaya, Sic Bo tables run continuously, so you can join at any time. There is no waiting for a formal game start; you place your bet, watch the dice roll, and the next round begins immediately.
Understanding Sic Bo bets and payouts
The Sic Bo betting table may look complex at first, but the wagers fall into a few main categories. We describe the most common bets:
- High/Low: Bet that the total of the three dice will be high (11–17) or low (4–10). Pays even money (1:1).
- Odd/Even: Bet that the total will be odd or even. Pays even money (1:1).
- Specific Number: Bet that a particular number (1–6) will appear on one, two, or all three dice. Payouts vary: 1:1 if one die shows the number, 2:1 if two dice show it, 3:1 if all three dice match.
- Pair: Bet that two dice will show the same number. Pays 5:1 or 6:1 depending on the pair.
- Triple: Bet that all three dice show the same number. Pays 30:1 or higher for specific triples (e.g., all threes).
- Combination: Bet that two specific numbers will appear among the three dice, in any order. Pays 6:1.
Each bet type carries a different house edge. High/Low and Odd/Even are close to 50/50 propositions with a small house advantage. Specific number and pair bets have a larger house edge, while triple bets are rare and come with much higher payouts but lower probability. Experienced Sic Bo players on savaya often favour the simpler bets for longer play sessions, while others enjoy the excitement of triple or combination wagers.

Deposits and account funding on savaya

We accept nine payment methods across Indonesia: DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, and e-wallet. Each method is integrated into our cashier, so your deposit completes in seconds.
Our most popular deposits use mobile banking and local payment because they are widely installed across Indonesian smartphones. online payment and e-wallet offer similar convenience for users of those ecosystems. If you prefer direct bank transfers, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, and e-wallet all route deposits to savaya efficiently. mobile banking provides a unified QR code option that works with any participating bank.
Once you select your deposit method, enter your desired amount and confirm. Most e-wallet and local payment transactions post within a few minutes. Bank transfers may take longer depending on your bank's processing window. After your funds arrive, your savaya balance updates automatically, and you can join a live Sic Bo table immediately.
Payment integration across savaya games
Your savaya balance is shared across all our offerings: sportsbook markets like Liga 1 and Piala AFF, live-dealer tables (blackjack, roulette, Dragon Tiger), slots (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus), and Sic Bo. You do not manage separate balances for each game—one account, one balance, full access.
Withdrawals follow the same deposit path. You request a payout to the same payment method you deposited from, and our system processes it subject to standard verification checks. We do not charge withdrawal fees on our side; your bank or wallet provider may apply their standard charges.
Bankroll management and play strategy for Sic Bo
Sic Bo is a game of chance—no strategy can change the mathematical odds of the dice. However, bankroll management can extend your play time and keep the experience enjoyable. We recommend the following approach:
- Set a session budget: Before you join a Sic Bo table, decide how much you can afford to lose without affecting your daily life. This is your total session budget.
- Divide into rounds: Split your session budget into smaller units (e.g., five rounds). If you lose one round's allocation, wait before the next round rather than chasing losses.
- Prefer simpler bets for longer play: High/Low and Odd/Even bets have lower house edges and more predictable outcomes. If your goal is to extend your session, favour these over exotic bets.
- Take breaks: Play subject to verification, then step away for a few minutes. This keeps your mind clear and prevents impulsive decisions.
- Quit at your limit: When your session budget is spent, stop. Do not re-deposit to chase losses or extend play.
Many players in Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, and Medan enjoy Sic Bo as a leisure activity, not a way to earn income. If you approach Sic Bo with realistic expectations—viewing your deposit as the cost of entertainment, not an investment—you will have a more balanced experience on savaya.

Comparing Sic Bo to other savaya games
Sic Bo differs from other live-dealer games on our savaya platform in pace and structure. Blackjack and roulette involve player decisions (hit or stand, where to place chips), whereas Sic Bo is purely predictive—you choose your bet, then the dice decide the outcome with no further input. This makes Sic Bo faster and more passive, which some players prefer.
Compared to our slot games (Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, Mahjong Ways), Sic Bo offers live interaction and real-time results. Slots use algorithmic outcomes, while Sic Bo uses physical dice, which some players find more trustworthy. However, slots offer a wider range of themes and bonus features, whereas Sic Bo is focused on the core dice mechanic.
