Sic Bo rules and instructions

Sic Bo, meaning "dice pair" is an ancient Chinese game. In spite of the name, three dice are used in the game. The object of the game is to either select the individual numbers, or a combination of numbers that will appear on the dice after they are rolled. The betting possibilities and payoff amounts are depicted on the table layout by showing the combinations that can result from the three dice rolled. (If you are already familiar with the rules you can skip the next chapter and read the instructions to the virtual play mode only).
