Specific Triple (All Specific)

Sic Bo

A bet that all three dice will show a specific number chosen by the player. For example, a bet on “Triple 5” wins only if all three dice show 5. The Specific Triple bet pays 150:1 in Macau (180:1 in Atlantic City) and has a house edge of approximately 16.20% (or 13.89% at 180:1). The probability of rolling any specific triple is 1 in 216 (0.46%). There are six possible specific triple bets (1 through 6), each independently available on the layout. This is the highest-payout standard bet in Sic Bo and one of the most visually exciting outcomes, often drawing crowd attention when hit.

In practice

A specific triple payout of 150:1 is standard in Macau and most Asia-Pacific markets. At 180:1, the house edge drops to 13.89%, which is more favorable for players. Surveillance should verify that specific triple payouts match the approved pay table.
