SIC BO MACAU

1. Getting Started

When you launch Sic Bo Macau for the first time, you'll see a welcome screen confirming this is a simulator for education and entertainment — no real money is involved. Tap "GOT IT — DEAL ME IN" to continue. This screen only appears once per device.

The Setup Screen

The setup screen is where you configure your session before stepping up to the table. It's split into three parts: a brand column on the left with the ENTER TABLE button, a settings card in the middle with all the knobs, and a disclaimer strip at the bottom.

Game Variant

Choose between Standard Sic Bo, Super Sic Bo, Chuck-a-Luck, or Grand Hazard. Each variant is a different game with its own board layout, available bets, and payouts. See Section 6: Game Variants for the full breakdown. Super Sic Bo is the default and flagship mode.

Payout Set

Sic Bo payouts vary by jurisdiction. Choose between Standard, Macau, Atlantic City, or Australia. Each set changes the odds on high-payout bets like triples, doubles, and extreme totals. See Section 8: Regional Payout Sets for the comparison. When Super Sic Bo is selected, a Super payout set is applied automatically — base payouts are reduced to offset the random multipliers.

Table Limits

Minimum Bet — $1, $5, $10, or $25. The smallest wager you can place on a single zone.
Maximum Bet — $500, $5,000, $10,000, or a custom value. The ceiling for any single zone. Tap "Custom max bet" to enter a precise amount.

Starting Balance

Pick from $500, $1,000, $2,500, or $5,000 — or tap "Enter custom amount" to type any value. This is your bankroll for the session.

Custom Amounts

For Maximum Bet and Starting Balance, you can enter custom values instead of the preset buttons. Tap the custom link below each row, type your amount in the text field, and confirm with the checkmark (✓). Your custom value becomes the active setting. Tap ✕ to clear and return to the presets.

Once you're happy with your configuration, tap "ENTER TABLE" to begin.

Auto-Save & Resuming Your Session

Sic Bo Macau automatically saves your session after every round. If you close the browser tab, shut down the app, or your device loses power, your session is preserved — balance, statistics, roadmaps, roll history, and all settings. When you reopen the game, it picks up exactly where you left off.

The only way to reset is to explicitly exit using the EXIT button in the bottom bar. This returns you to the setup screen where you can start a fresh session with new settings. Closing the tab does not reset your session — only the exit button does.

Out of Chips

If your balance reaches zero with no chips on the table, a top-up option appears. Since all chips are virtual, running out is just a learning moment — you can add more and keep studying the same session, or exit and start fresh.

2. The Sic Bo Table

The game screen is a three-column layout: left stats panel, center table, right stats panel, with a bottom bar for controls and an info strip above it for balance and last-roll data.

Top Info Bar

Above the bottom bar, a compact strip shows the current round's context at a glance:

Roll Result — Three small dice rendering the last shake, with the total beside them. Blank until the first shake.
Balance — Your current chip total.
Total Bet — The sum of all chips currently on the table for this round.
Last Win — Your net profit on the most recent round.
Round — Current round number in this session.

The Table Felt

The red felt is laid out in six rows, from the headline zones at the top down to the individual dice bets at the bottom:

Row	Zones	Bet Type
1	SMALL · ANY TRIPLE · BIG	Even-money totals + any-triple headline
2	ODD · 6 Specific Triples · EVEN	Parity bets + specific triple grid
3	Totals 4–17 (14 zones)	Specific total of all three dice
4	15 Two-dice Combinations	Specific combo of any two dice
5	6 Doubles (1-1 through 6-6)	At least two dice show this number
6	6 Singles (1 through 6)	At least one die shows this number

Every zone is labeled with its payout and, where relevant, the winning range. Hovering over a zone (or long-pressing on mobile) shows a detailed tooltip explaining the rule. After the shake, every zone that matched the dice lights up in a board-wide highlight sweep so you can see exactly which bets won.

The felt itself carries Chinese visual motifs — corner ornaments, a 骰寶 watermark, and a warm red-gold palette — as a nod to the game's Macau / Chinese casino heritage.

Left Panel — MAP (Roadmaps & Histogram)

On the left of the table is the MAP panel, which tracks trend patterns across your session:

Big/Small roadmap — A streak-based grid showing which side (Small, Big, or Triple) hit in each round.
Odd/Even roadmap — Same style, tracking parity outcomes.
Hot/Cold strip — The single-die values appearing most and least often recently.
Totals histogram — A bar chart of how often each total from 4 to 17 has come up.

Toggle between Road (Big Road with streak columns) and Plate (Bead Plate, sequential fill) from the header. See Section 9: Roadmaps & Trends for a full breakdown.

Right Panel — LAST ROUNDS

On the right of the table is the LAST ROUNDS panel, a vertical list of recent results. Each entry shows the three dice, the total, and B/S + O/E tags. Below it, a stats footer shows running percentages for Small/Triple/Big and Odd/Even so you can gauge how the session is trending without opening the full stats modal.

Bottom Bar

The bottom bar is your control center.

Chip Rack — Eight denominations from $1 to $5,000. Tap to select, then tap a bet zone to place.
SHAKE — The main action button. Disabled until at least one chip is on the table; reads "PLACE YOUR BETS" until you bet, then "SHAKE". Tap it to begin the dice tumble.
CLEAR — Remove all your bets from the table and return the chips to your balance.
REPEAT — Place the exact same bets you used in the previous round.
DOUBLE — Double every bet currently on the table. Requires enough balance to cover it.
AUTO — Open the Auto-Play popover (see Section 4).
LUCKY — Place a random spread of bets across the board. Great for quick rounds when you don't want to think.
UNDO — Reverse the last chip you placed.
Stats icon — Open the full Session Stats modal.
Fullscreen — Toggle browser fullscreen mode.
Mute — Instantly silence or restore all audio.
Settings — Open the Settings panel.
Exit — End the session and return to the main menu.

3. How Sic Bo Works

Unlike Craps, Sic Bo has no phase system — there's no point, no come-out, no shooter. Every round is a single shake, and every bet on the table resolves on that one shake. Then you clear, re-bet, and go again.

A Round, Start to Finish

1. Place your bets. Pick a chip in the rack, tap zones to place chips. You can stack multiple chips on a single zone, spread across as many zones as you like, or use LUCKY to scatter a random spread.
2. Tap SHAKE. The button pulses when at least one chip is on the table. Tapping it locks in your bets — no more placement until this round resolves.
3. Dice tumble. A 3D dice animation plays — three dice drop, bounce, and scatter across the table into a triangle formation. In real casinos this would be a physical cage or electronic tumbler; here it's modeled after the Evolution-style animation.
4. Reveal and resolve. The three values lock in. The board-wide highlight sweep illuminates every zone that matched — if you bet on any of them, you win.
5. Payouts and cleanup. Winning bets pay out at the odds listed on their zone; losing chips are swept. Your balance updates, Last Win shows the net, and Round # increments. After a brief celebration (see below), the table clears and you're back to Place your bets.

Win Celebrations

The game grades each winning round into one of four win tiers based on how large the payout is relative to your total bet. Bigger wins trigger bigger celebrations:

Tier	Trigger	Visual
Tier 1	Small net profit	Chip cascade + floating WIN counter on the zone
Tier 2	Solid payout	Full-screen overlay with a gold radial burst + headline
Tier 3	Big multiplier / triple hit	White flash + spark particles + gold coin shower
Tier 4	Huge win (typical of Super Sic Bo multiplier hits)	Screen shake + 骰寶 glyph flash + red-and-gold burst + extended coin shower

Any overlay can be dismissed with a click or tap so you can keep playing at your own pace.

4. Placing Bets

Selecting a Chip

Tap a chip denomination in the chip rack at the bottom of the screen. The selected chip glows. Available denominations:

Chip	Color
$1	White
$5	Red
$10	Blue
$25	Green
$100	Black / gold-trim
$500	Purple
$1,000	Gold
$5,000	Cyan / red-trim

Chips you can't afford are dimmed and unselectable. Chips also obey your table's Minimum Bet — if your selected chip is below the minimum for the zone, placement is blocked.

Placing & Removing Bets

With a chip selected, tap any valid betting zone. Your chip appears on that zone. Tap again to add another chip of the same denomination.

Removing chips:
Right-click (desktop) or long-press (mobile) to remove chips.
Undo button (or press Z) to reverse the last chip placed.
Clear button (or press X) to wipe the entire table and return all chips to your balance.

You can adjust bets freely right up until you tap SHAKE. Once the shake begins, bets lock — real casinos call this the "No More Bets" moment.

Quick Actions

The bottom bar includes quick-action buttons for fast play:

REPEAT — Replay the exact bet layout from the previous round. Enabled after your first completed round.
DOUBLE — Double every bet on the table. If you don't have enough balance to cover it, the action is cancelled with no change.
LUCKY — Scatter a random spread of bets. Uses your selected chip and picks a mix of zones automatically. Great for when you want to keep the action moving without picking each zone manually.
UNDO — Reverse the most recent chip placement. Tap multiple times to undo several bets in a row.
CLEAR — Remove every chip from the table and return the full amount to your balance.

Auto-Play

Tap the AUTO button to open the Auto-Play popover. Choose how many rounds to run automatically: 5, 10, 25, 50, or 100. Each round will auto-repeat your current bet layout, auto-shake, resolve, and continue — no manual input required. A progress counter appears on the SHAKE button showing rounds remaining.

Auto-Play stops automatically if you run out of chips, if your balance can't cover the next round's total bet, or if you tap the stop control. It also respects all other game rules — if a round triggers a big win tier, the celebration plays, the payout lands, and the next round continues.

5. All Bet Types Explained

Sic Bo's betting board has 50+ zones grouped into eight categories. Payouts shown below are the Standard set — for regional variations, see Section 8.

Even-Money Bets — Small & Big

The two headline bets at the top of the board. Both pay 1:1 (even money). Both lose on any triple — because if all three dice match, the house takes the bet regardless of the total. This "lose on triple" rule is why the house has an edge even on a 50/50-looking wager.

Bet	Wins On	Loses On	Payout
Small	Total 4 through 10	Total 11–17, OR any triple (1-1-1 … 6-6-6)	1:1
Big	Total 11 through 17	Total 4–10, OR any triple	1:1

Parity Bets — Odd & Even

Like Small/Big, but based on whether the three-dice total is odd or even. Same "lose on any triple" rule applies.

Bet	Wins On	Loses On	Payout
Odd	Total of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, or 17	Any even total, or any triple	1:1
Even	Total of 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, or 16	Any odd total, or any triple	1:1

Any Triple

A single zone that wins if any triple rolls — 1-1-1, 2-2-2, 3-3-3, 4-4-4, 5-5-5, or 6-6-6. You don't pick which triple; any of them counts.

Bet	Wins On	Payout (Standard)
Any Triple	Any three matching dice	30:1

Specific Triples

Six zones, one for each value 1 through 6. You're calling your shot — this specific triple will roll. Huge payout, long odds. The probability of any single specific triple is 1 in 216.

Bet	Wins On	Payout (Standard)
Triple 1-1-1	All three dice show 1	180:1
Triple 2-2-2	All three dice show 2	180:1
Triple 3-3-3	All three dice show 3	180:1
Triple 4-4-4	All three dice show 4	180:1
Triple 5-5-5	All three dice show 5	180:1
Triple 6-6-6	All three dice show 6	180:1

Doubles

Six zones, one per value. Wins if at least two dice show that number — so a Double 4 wins on 4-4-anything (including 4-4-4). You're not betting on the specific third die.

Bet	Wins On	Payout (Standard)
Double 1	Two or three dice show 1	11:1
Double 2	Two or three dice show 2	11:1
Double 3	Two or three dice show 3	11:1
Double 4	Two or three dice show 4	11:1
Double 5	Two or three dice show 5	11:1
Double 6	Two or three dice show 6	11:1

Specific Totals (4 through 17)

Fourteen zones — one for each possible total of the three dice. Payouts are symmetric around the middle (10 and 11 are the most common totals; 4 and 17 are the rarest with only one combination each).

Total	Ways to Roll	Payout (Standard)
4 or 17	1 combination (rarest)	60:1
5 or 16	3 combinations	30:1
6 or 15	6 combinations	17:1
7 or 14	9 combinations	12:1
8 or 13	12 combinations	8:1
9 or 12	15 combinations	6:1
10 or 11	15 combinations (most common non-triple totals)	6:1

Two-Dice Combinations (Dominoes)

Fifteen zones — one for each unique pair of different dice values. You win if those two values both appear on at least two of the three dice (the third die can be anything). Also called domino bets because the zones often display the two dice side-by-side like domino tiles.

Combination	Wins On	Payout (Standard)
1 & 2	Any roll containing both a 1 and a 2	5:1
1 & 3	Any roll containing both a 1 and a 3	5:1
… (15 total)	All pairs from 1&2 through 5&6	5:1
5 & 6	Any roll containing both a 5 and a 6	5:1

Single Dice Bets

Six zones, one per value. You're betting that at least one die will show your chosen number. The payout scales with how many dice actually match:

Match Count	Example (on Single 4)	Payout (Standard)
One die matches	4-?-? where the other two ≠ 4	1:1
Two dice match	4-4-? where the third ≠ 4	2:1
Three dice match	4-4-4	3:1

6. Game Variants

Sic Bo Macau includes four variants. All use three dice and share the same core shake-and-reveal loop, but the board, available bets, and payout logic differ significantly.

Standard Sic Bo

Classic Macau / casino Sic Bo. The full board you see on most real tables — Small/Big, Odd/Even, Any Triple, Specific Triples, Doubles, Totals 4–17, two-dice Combinations, and Singles. This is the baseline variant used as the reference for all rules in this manual.

Super Sic Bo ★ FLAGSHIP

The modern live-casino variant. Same board as Standard, but before each shake, 3 to 6 zones light up with random multipliers — anywhere from 2× up to 1,000×. If a multiplied zone wins, your base payout is multiplied. Base payouts are reduced to offset the multipliers, but the ceiling is dramatically higher. See Section 7 for the full mechanics.

Chuck-a-Luck

A simplified variant derived from English Grand Hazard. Historically played with three dice in a rotating wire cage (hence "Birdcage"). The focus is on single-number bets — players pick numbers 1 through 6, with payouts scaling by how many dice match. In Sic Bo Macau, Chuck-a-Luck keeps the simplified layout with singles and a small subset of common bets.

Mathematically, Chuck-a-Luck is a subset of Sic Bo — every Chuck-a-Luck bet exists in Standard Sic Bo, but the reduced board makes for a simpler, carnival-style session.

Grand Hazard

An English three-dice game closely related to Sic Bo. The board focuses on Totals, Triples (called "raffles"), and Single-dice bets, with fewer of the exotic combination zones found on a full Sic Bo table. Structure is the same — one shake, fixed payouts — but the betting menu is leaner and more classical.

Variant Comparison

Feature	Standard	Super Sic Bo	Chuck-a-Luck	Grand Hazard
Small / Big	✓	✓	—	—
Odd / Even	✓	✓	—	—
Any Triple	✓	✓	—	✓
Specific Triples	✓	✓	—	✓
Doubles	✓	✓	—	—
Totals 4–17	✓	✓	—	✓
Two-Dice Combos	✓	✓	—	—
Singles (1–6)	✓	✓	✓	✓
Random multipliers	—	✓ (up to 1,000×)	—	—
Base payout reduced	—	Yes (offsets multipliers)	—	—

7. Super Sic Bo & Multipliers

Super Sic Bo is the marquee variant. Before each shake, the game picks a random set of zones and assigns each a multiplier. If you have a bet on a multiplied zone and that zone wins, your payout is multiplied.

How the Multipliers Work

1. Before the shake, Super Sic Bo rolls a pre-round generator. It picks between 3 and 6 zones (typically 4), chooses a multiplier for each from a tier-specific pool, and paints the multiplier values onto those zones as gold badges.
2. You place bets normally. A chip on a multiplied zone isn't any more expensive — but the potential payout is amplified if that zone hits.
3. Dice roll and resolve. Any non-multiplied winning zone pays at its reduced Super base rate. Any multiplied winning zone pays base × multiplier.
4. Next round, the multipliers clear and new ones are generated.

Which Zones Can Be Multiplied

Not every zone is eligible. Even-money bets (Small, Big, Odd, Even) and Single-dice bets are always excluded — they keep their flat base payouts round to round. Only the higher-variance zones qualify:

Tier	Eligible Zones	Multiplier Pool	Typical Weighting
Tier 1	All 15 Two-Dice Combinations	2×, 3×, 5×, 8×, 10×, 15×	Low values most common; 15× rare
Tier 2	All 14 Totals (4–17) + all 6 Doubles	2×, 3×, 5×, 8×, 10×, 20×, 50×	2×–10× common; 20× rare; 50× very rare
Tier 3	Any Triple + all 6 Specific Triples	2×, 3×, 5×, 8×, 10×, 20×, 50×, 88×	Heaviest jackpot tier

Reduced Base Payouts

Because multipliers can push payouts into the stratosphere, Super Sic Bo uses a compressed base payout table. This keeps the long-term math honest and matches how real live-casino Super Sic Bo games (like Evolution's) balance the mode.

Bet	Standard Payout	Super Sic Bo Base Payout
Specific Triple	180:1	88:1
Any Triple	30:1	15:1
Double	11:1	8:1
Total 4 / 17	60:1	50:1
Total 5 / 16	30:1	25:1
Total 6 / 15	17:1	14:1
Total 7 / 14	12:1	10:1
Total 8 / 13	8:1	6:1
Small / Big / Odd / Even	1:1	1:1 (unchanged)
Single Dice	1:1 / 2:1 / 3:1	1:1 / 2:1 / 3:1 (unchanged)

The Payout Cap

To keep extreme combinations from producing unbounded wins, Super Sic Bo applies a $999 cap per $1 wagered — matching the real-world Evolution Super Sic Bo cap. A $1 chip on a specific triple at base 88:1 with a stacked 88× multiplier would theoretically pay 7,744:1; with the cap it pays 999:1. The cap only kicks in for genuinely rare combinations.

8. Regional Payout Sets

Real Sic Bo payouts vary between jurisdictions. A specific triple might pay 150:1 in Macau, 180:1 in most US casinos, 195:1 in Singapore, or be called a "31:1 any triple" at an Australian table. Sic Bo Macau models four distinct regional sets so you can study the difference.

You choose the payout set on the setup screen. It applies to Standard, Chuck-a-Luck, and Grand Hazard. When Super Sic Bo is selected, the Super base payout set is used automatically instead.

Comparison Table

Bet	Standard	Macau	Atlantic City	Australia
Specific Triple	180:1	150:1	180:1	180:1
Any Triple	30:1	24:1	30:1	30:1
Double	11:1	8:1	10:1	11:1
Two-Dice Combo	5:1	5:1	5:1	5:1
Total 4 / 17	60:1	50:1	60:1	62:1
Total 5 / 16	30:1	18:1	30:1	31:1
Total 6 / 15	17:1	14:1	17:1	17:1
Total 7 / 14	12:1	12:1	12:1	12:1
Total 8 / 13	8:1	8:1	8:1	8:1
Total 9 / 12	6:1	6:1	7:1	7:1
Total 10 / 11	6:1	6:1	6:1	6:1
Single (1 die match)	1:1	1:1	1:1	1:1
Single (2 dice match)	2:1	2:1	2:1	2:1
Single (3 dice match)	3:1	3:1	3:1	12:1
Small / Big / Odd / Even	1:1	1:1	1:1	1:1

Picking a Payout Set

Standard — The benchmark set used in most US casinos and many online Sic Bo games. A good middle ground and the best default for learning the game.
Macau — Tighter payouts across the top tier (triples and doubles). Reflects the higher house edge common in mainstream Macau casino Sic Bo tables.
Atlantic City — Mostly matches Standard, but improves Double (10:1 → looks worse but check carefully — this set actually pays 10:1 instead of 11:1 on Doubles and bumps Totals 9/12 from 6:1 to 7:1. A slight trade-off in the player's favor on totals, slight cost on doubles.
Australia — The most player-friendly set. Matches Standard on most zones, but pays 62:1 on Total 4/17 (vs 60:1), 31:1 on Total 5/16 (vs 30:1), 7:1 on Total 9/12, and — most notably — 12:1 on a triple-match Single bet instead of 3:1. That last one is a huge boost on an otherwise mediocre wager.

9. Roadmaps & Trends

Sic Bo Macau includes a full suite of trend-tracking tools built into the live UI — no need to open a menu. These are the same kinds of displays used at live Asian casino tables for Baccarat and Sic Bo, adapted to the Sic Bo board.

The MAP Panel

The left-side MAP panel shows two roadmaps stacked vertically:

Big/Small roadmap — Tracks whether each round landed Small (total 4–10), Big (11–17), or a Triple.
Odd/Even roadmap — Tracks the parity of each round's total. Triples are shown here too since they break both Small/Big and Odd/Even.

Each roadmap can be toggled between two display styles:

Big Road — Streak-based columns. A new round that matches the previous one stacks vertically; a change starts a new column to the right. Long columns signal "dragon tails" — extended streaks. This is the classic Asian casino roadmap style.
Bead Plate — Sequential fill, left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Each round gets the next cell in order. Easier to read total counts at a glance but doesn't visualize streaks as clearly.

The roadmap uses a fixed FIFO window — as new rounds come in, the oldest results drop off the left edge. Column count adapts to viewport: typically 7, 8, or 10 columns depending on screen size. There's no scrollbar by design.

Hot & Cold Strip

Below the roadmaps, a Hot/Cold strip highlights which single-die values (1–6) have been appearing most and least often recently. HOT numbers are running ahead of expected frequency; COLD numbers are running behind. These are purely descriptive — dice have no memory, and past results don't predict future ones — but they're a staple of casino trend displays and useful for spotting variance in the short run.

Totals Histogram

Below the hot/cold strip is a horizontal bar chart covering every possible total from 4 to 17. Each bar's height shows how many times that total has come up this session, with color coding highlighting hot (overperforming) and cold (underperforming) totals relative to their theoretical frequency.

Last Rounds Panel

The right-side LAST ROUNDS panel is a vertical list, newest round on top. Each entry shows the three dice, the total, and tags marking whether it was Small/Big and Odd/Even (triples show a dedicated triple tag). Below the list, three percentage readouts track Small % / Triple % / Big % and Odd % / Even % for the session. Triples are excluded from the Odd/Even percentages (they don't count toward either side).

Mobile Trend Strip

On mobile, where the side panels collapse into drawers, a compact horizontal trend strip sits directly below the table. It shows Small % / Triple % / Big %, Odd % / Even %, and the current hot and cold numbers — all the key trend info in one glance-friendly row.

10. Session Statistics

Tap the stats icon in the bottom bar (chart icon) to open the full Session Stats modal. It expands on everything shown in the live trend panels and adds session performance cards.

What's Inside

Expanded roadmaps — Up to 40 columns wide, showing much more history than the live panels.
Full totals histogram — All 14 totals with exact count and frequency.
Performance cards — Total rounds, total wagered, total won, current balance, session high, session low, longest win streak, best single win, and the zone that produced it.
Last 20 rounds — A detailed grid of the most recent rounds with dice faces and tags.

Opening the modal pauses the game — shake and autoplay are blocked while it's open, so you can study the numbers without the table rolling on without you. Tap outside or press Escape to close.

11. Settings

Tap the gear icon in the bottom bar to open the Settings panel. Adjust audio, display, and session options.

Audio

FX volume — Controls dice shake sounds, chip placement, win celebrations, coin showers, and UI clicks. Independent slider.
Music volume — Controls the ambient background soundtrack. The music ducks automatically during win celebrations so the celebration audio is clearly audible, then fades back up.
Master Mute — The mute button on the bottom bar (or press M) silences all audio at once without changing your volume settings. Tap again to restore.

When you switch tabs or minimize the window, all audio pauses and animation loops stop — when you return, they resume automatically. This prevents audio leaking over other work and stops particle effects from piling up while the tab is hidden.

Display

Show Tooltips — Toggle the hover / long-press descriptions on bet zones, chips, and stats panels. Turn them off once you know the board by heart.
Trend Indicators — Show or hide the hot/cold dots on bet zones and the on-board trend strip. Handy for a cleaner look during focused play.
Pinch to Zoom (mobile only) — Enable two-finger pinch-to-zoom and drag-to-pan on the table. Disabled by default to prevent accidental zooming. When enabled, double-tap anywhere to reset the zoom, and a floating reset button appears when you've zoomed in.

Session

The settings panel also includes the Exit to Main Menu path — this ends the current session and returns you to the setup screen. Session stats and balance reset; configuration preferences (variant, payout set, limits) are remembered and pre-filled on the setup screen.

12. Keyboard Shortcuts & Gestures

Keyboard Shortcuts

Shortcuts work during the betting phase (when the SHAKE button is available). They're disabled while typing in input fields and while modals are open, so they never interfere with data entry.

Key	Action	Notes
Space or Enter	Shake the dice	Only works when at least one chip is on the table
1–8	Select chip denomination	1 = $1, 2 = $5, 3 = $10, 4 = $25, 5 = $100, 6 = $500, 7 = $1K, 8 = $5K. Unavailable chips are skipped.
Z	Undo last chip	Same as the UNDO button
X	Clear all bets	Same as the CLEAR button
R	Repeat last round's bets	Requires a previous completed round
D	Double all bets	Requires enough balance to cover the double
A	Open Auto-Play popover	Then tap a round count pill
S	Open Settings panel	Blocked while the table is locked mid-shake
T	Open Session Stats modal
M	Mute / Unmute all audio	Works in any phase

Drag (while zoomed)	Pan around the table
Double-tap	Reset zoom to full table view

13. Mobile Play

Sic Bo Macau runs in Safari (iOS) and Chrome (Android). The mobile layout reflows the three-column desktop layout into a stacked one-column design optimized for landscape orientation.

Landscape Required

The game is designed for landscape only. If you hold the device in portrait, a rotate prompt appears asking you to turn the device sideways. This keeps the table layout readable at any mobile size.

Drawer Tabs

On mobile, the left MAP panel and right LAST ROUNDS panel collapse into drawer tabs on the edge of the screen. Tap the rounds tab to open the Last Rounds drawer, or the maps tab to open the Roadmaps drawer. Tap the backdrop or the same tab again to close.

Trend Strip Below Table

To make sure you always see some trend information without opening a drawer, a compact trend strip sits directly below the table on mobile. It shows Small % / Triple % / Big %, Odd % / Even %, and current Hot/Cold numbers. This strip is always visible.

Pinch-to-Zoom
