About Mega Sic Bo
Released in 2020, Mega Sic Bo is Pragmatic Play's take on the ancient Asian dice game Sic Bo, with the addition of the Lightning-style Mega Multipliers mechanic. Sic Bo (meaning 'pair of dice' in Chinese, despite using 3 dice) is one of the oldest casino games, originating in ancient China. Pragmatic modernized it in 2020 with x50-x1,000 multipliers on certain bets to give it broader appeal for Western players.
The format: 3 dice shaken in an automated cage every round. Over 50 bet types are available, among the most varied on the market. Main bets: Big (total 11-17, pays 1:1, RTP 97.22%), Small (total 4-10, pays 1:1, RTP 97.22%). Specific bets: Triples (all 3 dice matching, pays 150:1 on a specific Triple, variable RTP), Doubles (pays 8:1 or 10:1), Sums (total 4-17, payouts 6:1 to 60:1 depending on the sum), Combinations, Single Numbers and more.
The Mega mechanic: before every round, 1 to 5 bets are marked Mega with multipliers of x50, x100, x150, x200, x300, x500 or x1,000. If you hit a Mega bet, your win is multiplied. The probability of a Mega hit varies by bet type (roughly 1 in 200 on specific Triples with the max multiplier).
On the math side, average RTP is 96.11% but varies significantly by bet type: Big/Small at 97.22% (the best EV), Sums also 97.22%, Doubles 89.4%, Triples roughly 90% (due to extreme payouts but low probabilities). House edge ranges from 2.78% on Big/Small to over 10% on exotic bets. Optimal strategy favors Big/Small for the best stable EV.
