Mega Sic Bo is Pragmatic Play's live three-dice Sic Bo with a multiplier twist. Three dice are shaken each round and you bet on the result: the total, Small or Big, Even or Odd, a specific double or triple, and more. Before each shake, a random set of bet spots is lit with Mega Multipliers of up to 1,000x, and if the dice match a lit spot you backed, you win that multiplier instead of the standard payout. The Small and Big bets return 97.22%, and the multipliers are where the rare big wins come from.
Key takeaways
- How it works: three dice are shaken; you bet on the total (4 to 17), Small/Big, Even/Odd, doubles, triples or combinations. Each round, random bet spots get a Mega Multiplier.
- RTP: 97.22% on the Small/Big and Even/Odd bets, a 2.78% house edge. RTP varies on the multiplier-affected bets, which trade return for the bigger ceiling.
- Mega Multipliers: per Pragmatic Play, random bet spots are lit with multipliers of up to 1,000x each round. Match a lit spot you backed and you win the multiplier.
- Max win: up to 1,000x your stake, from a Mega Multiplier landing on a bet you backed. Most rounds resolve at standard odds and pay far less.
- Bankroll note: Small and Big are the steadiest, lowest-edge bets; the specific triples and the multiplier chase are high variance. Set a budget; exact payouts are in the game's info panel.
Every Mega Sic Bo total, in dice
The three dice add up to a total from 3 to 18. Each total is shown as one example roll, with the count of how many of the 216 combinations make it. Totals near the middle (10 and 11) have the most combinations and land most often; 3 and 18 each have only one, three 1s or three 6s, so they are the rarest.
-
Total 3
The lowest total, made a single way: three 1s. With one outcome in 216 it ties 18 as the rarest result, so it carries the top base payout.
-
Total 4
Comes only from 1, 1, 2, which lands three ways in 216. A long shot, paid accordingly.
-
Total 5
Built from 1-1-3 or 1-2-2, six ways in all. Still firmly in the rare, high-paying tier.
-
Total 6
Ten ways, from 1-1-4 and 1-2-3 to the triple 2-2-2. Rare, but more reachable than the corners.
-
Total 7
Fifteen ways. The first of the mid-table totals, where hits start to come regularly.
-
Total 8
Twenty-one ways. Common enough to land often, with a payout to match the shorter odds.
-
Total 9
Twenty-five ways, just behind the peak. A frequent total at a modest payout.
-
Total 10
Tied with 11 as the most common total at twenty-seven ways, so it lands most often and pays the least.
-
Total 11
Tied with 10 as the most common total at twenty-seven ways: the highest-frequency, lowest-paying number.
-
Total 12
Twenty-five ways, the mirror of 9. Frequent and modestly paid.
-
Total 13
Twenty-one ways, the mirror of 8. A common total in the middle tier.
-
Total 14
Fifteen ways, the mirror of 7. Hits regularly without being a long shot.
-
Total 15
Ten ways, the mirror of 6. Back into the rarer, better-paying totals.
-
Total 16
Six ways, the mirror of 5. A long-shot total with a strong payout.
-
Total 17
Comes only from 5, 6, 6, three ways in all. One step below the ceiling.
-
Total 18
The highest total, made a single way: three 6s. As rare as 3, and paying the top base amount.
What Mega Sic Bo is
Mega Sic Bo is Pragmatic Play’s live version of Sic Bo, the ancient three-dice game, with a multiplier feature layered on top. A host shakes three dice in a cage each round, and you bet on the result before they settle. The base game is standard Sic Bo: bets on the total, Small or Big, Even or Odd, specific doubles and triples, and two-dice combinations. The twist is the Mega Multipliers, which light up a random set of bet spots before each shake and can pay up to 1,000x. It’s a fast, simple format streamed with a real dealer.
How a round plays out
Each round opens with a betting window. While you place chips, the game lights a random set of bet spots with Mega Multipliers, then the host shakes the three dice and reveals them.
If the dice match a bet you backed, you win. If that bet was on a lit spot, you collect the Mega Multiplier instead of the standard payout, which is where the big wins come from. If your bets miss, they lose. There are no decisions once the dice are shaken, so the pace stays quick and the maths is easy to follow round to round.
The bets and the odds
The dice produce a total from 3 to 18, and the bets cover the ways that can happen:
- Small (4 to 10) and Big (11 to 17): even money, and the lowest-edge bets at a 97.22% return. They lose only when all three dice match (a triple).
- Even / Odd: also even money, the same 97.22% return.
- Specific total: a bet that the three dice sum to an exact number, paying more for the rarer totals.
- Specific double, any triple, specific triple, combinations: higher payouts for lower odds, and a higher house edge.
The rarer the outcome, the bigger the payout, which is why a specific triple pays the most and lands the least. The Mega Multipliers sit on top of these, lighting random spots each round.
RTP, multipliers and max win
Mega Sic Bo’s return depends on the bet. Small, Big, Even and Odd return 97.22%, a 2.78% house edge and the value play. The specific-total, double and triple bets pay more but carry a larger edge, and on the multiplier-affected spots the base payout is reduced to fund the Mega Multipliers. So chasing the exotic bets and the multipliers returns less than the Small/Big headline, the cost of buying into the bigger ceiling.
A short note on the maths: each shake is independent, so a total that hasn’t appeared for a while is no more likely next time. The Mega Multipliers reach up to 1,000x, which is also the maximum win, but a win still needs the dice to match a lit spot you backed, so most rounds resolve at standard odds and pay far less. Table limits and exact payouts can vary, so the info panel is the authority before you bet.
Strategy and the honest truth
No strategy beats Mega Sic Bo. Each shake is random and independent, so chasing a “due” total or piling onto specific triples for the multipliers does nothing to your expected result; it only raises variance. Small and Big carry the steadiest, lowest-edge return, while the exotic bets and the multiplier chase are the high-variance route to the 1,000x. The sensible play is to favour Small or Big for measured sessions, treat the Mega Multipliers as occasional upside, and never stake money you can’t afford to lose chasing the big multiplier.
Where Mega Sic Bo fits
Mega Sic Bo is Pragmatic Play’s multiplier take on dice, for players who like Sic Bo or want a simple game with a big-multiplier hook. The honest downsides are that the eye-catching 1,000x needs the dice to match a lit spot, which is uncommon, and the exotic bets that the multipliers favour carry a higher house edge than Small or Big. It’s close in spirit to Super Sic Bo, Evolution’s version of the same multiplier-dice format, and Lightning Dice.

Frequently asked questions
What is Mega Sic Bo?
Mega Sic Bo is a Pragmatic Play live casino game: the ancient three-dice game Sic Bo with a multiplier feature on top. A host shakes three dice in a cage, and you bet on the outcome, from Small or Big to a specific total, double or triple. Before each shake, random bet spots are lit with Mega Multipliers of up to 1,000x, so a matching bet pays the multiplier instead of the standard odds. It's streamed in real time with a real dealer.
How do you play Mega Sic Bo?
You place chips on the bets you fancy, then the host shakes three dice and the winning spots pay out. The main bets are Small (a total of 4 to 10) and Big (11 to 17), which pay even money and lose only on a triple; you can also back a specific total, Even or Odd, a specific double, any triple, a specific triple, or two-dice combinations. Before the shake, Mega Multipliers light up random spots, so if your bet matches a lit spot you win the multiplier rather than the base payout.
What is the RTP of Mega Sic Bo?
Mega Sic Bo returns 97.22% on the Small/Big and Even/Odd bets, which means a 2.78% house edge, the standard Sic Bo figure. The RTP varies on the other bets, and on the multiplier-affected spots it shifts because part of the base payout funds the Mega Multipliers. The exotic bets like specific triples carry a much higher house edge for their bigger payouts. The game's info panel shows the exact return for each bet on the table you join.
How do you win at Mega Sic Bo?
You win by betting on an outcome the three dice produce, but no strategy beats the house edge, because each shake is independent and random. The lowest-edge approach is to stick to Small or Big at a 2.78% edge and treat the Mega Multipliers as occasional upside; the specific totals, doubles and triples pay more but cost far more in edge. No pattern or progression changes the odds. The honest 'how to win' is bankroll discipline: low-edge bets, a set budget, and short sessions.
Why did Pragmatic Play get banned?
Pragmatic Play has not been banned as a company; it is one of the largest licensed game suppliers, regulated by bodies such as the Malta Gaming Authority and the UK Gambling Commission. What does happen is jurisdiction-level restriction: its games are blocked in countries where it is not locally licensed, and it has pulled out of individual markets over local licensing rules, which is routine for any global provider. None of that means Mega Sic Bo is unsafe; it is independently tested, so the practical point is to play at a casino licensed in your own country.
Is Mega Sic Bo a good game to play?
Mega Sic Bo is a good fit if you enjoy dice and the chance of a big multiplier, and you stick to the low-edge bets. Small and Big return 97.22%, competitive with other table games, and the Mega Multipliers add up-to-1,000x upside without you having to learn complex rules. The catch is variance: the multiplier and exotic bets swing hard and carry a higher edge, so it's worse value if you chase them. Played with Small/Big as the base, it's an entertaining, fair live game.
