If you love to play dice and were in the Far East, you wouldn't be
playing "craps," you would be playing SIC BO. Now this fast-paced game
(usually played with three dice) can be played anywhere you can put a
computer! With SIC BO, the craps type board is displayed on your
computer in stunning graphics. Bet on dice combinations you think are
winners -- and roll 'em. With 50 different winning combinations and
payoffs up to 150 to 1, this is big time gambling fun.

The following documentation for Sic Bo explains all the features
for the Registered version. The words "Registered Version Only"
may appear throughout the documentation. These are the added
features in the Registered version.
SIC BO
Sic Bo is one of the predominating Oriental casino games found
in many of your major gambling establishments. The game is
played with three dice.
The object of the game is to select the individual numbers or
combinations of numbers that will appear on the dice after
they're shaken and exposed. The betting layout of Sic Bo has a
variety of 5O different possible wagers and the payoff for each.
The payoffs vary from even money to 15O to 1. A player may bet
on a single die outcome, on two of a kind, on three of a kind,
or on different combinations of two or three of the dice.
STARTING SIC BO
From your DOS prompt, type SICBO and press the ENTER key. In
order for Sic Bo to run, you must be logged onto the directory
where SICBO.EXE, SBLIB01.INF, and SBLIB02.INF reside.
The first screen you see will be the boot screen. This will
display the copyright notice and version number of Sic Bo. A
message will be displayed on the bottom of the screen asking you
to press a mouse button.
The next screen you see will be the Sic Bo layout. You will be
playing Sic Bo from this screen.
MAIN MENU
The Main Menu will be displayed on the lower left portion of
your screen. Your available options will depend on whether you

MAIN OPTIONS
Roll Dice
When you choose "Roll Dice", three dice will be tossed within a
rectangular area located at the top right portion of your
screen. When they come to a stop, the winning combinations on
the Sic Bo layout will light up. If you have placed a bet on
the portion of the layout that is lit up, you are a winner. You
will be paid according to the posted odds on the layout.
NOTE: When pressing the Left Mouse Button, the winning
combinations will remain lit until you press either of the
buttons again. When pressing the Right Mouse Button to roll the
dice, you are not required to re-press a button. The layout
will remain lit according to the delay amount entered in the
Setup Option "Delay Between Game" (See Setup Options).

current settings of Sic Bo (See Setup Options).

Save High Scores
Your scoring may be saved to disk if this option is set to ON.
If this option is set to ON, you will be asked for your name
when you have finished playing Sic Bo, assuming your score
is high enough for the top 15 scores. Once you have entered
your name, you will not have to enter it again when asked,
just press the ENTER key.
Replay Last Wagers
After each outcome of the dice, the layout is cleared and you
must place your bets again. If you want to keep the same bets
as you previously had, be sure you set this option to "ON".
Delay Between Game
This is where you set the delay for the amount of time the
layout will remain lit. This will only function when you press
the Right Mouse Button when rolling the dice (See Main Options,
Roll Dice).
Your default setting is O. This is the least amount of delay.
You maximum setting is 2O. The bottom of your screen will show
the words:
Increase Decrease Done
Move the mouse cursor over the word "Increase" to increase the
delay time, "Decrease" to decrease the delay time, and "Done"
when you are satisfied with the delay factor.
To leave the Setup Menu, move your Mouse Cursor off the
rectangular area of the Setup Menu and press one of the mouse
buttons.
HIGH SCORES (Registered Version Only)
The Registered version of Sic Bo will allow the user to save the
high scores or winnings to disk. By selecting "High Scores"
from your Main Options, you will be able to view the top fifteen
players and their scores.
