Asian-themed games of chance are an incredibly popular niche within the broader live dealer gambling market. These tables bring fantastic casino games like Sic Bo, Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, and many others to life for gaming fans to enjoy in the comfort of their homes.
Pragmatic Play has taken its passion for the Asian market and live dealer game development a step further by creating a unique live dealer title called Mega Sic Bac. As its name implies, it borrows the best aspects of Live Sic Bo and Live Baccarat and combines them into an immersive and rewarding new experience.
Join us as we learn more about this enticing new dice game that offers lightning-fast rounds, random win multipliers, and the chance to win up to 5000 times your bet at any time.
In addition to its gorgeous presentation, with its host in an alluring red dress and four automated dice shakers (two red and two blue), Mega Sic Bac is an exciting new addition to the live casino niche because it combines speed, simplicity, and considerable win potential.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Mega Sic Bac is an exciting four-dice Live Casino title from Pragmatic Play featuring boosted payouts of up to 5,000x. Game rounds come thick and fast, averaging under 30 seconds, and players can choose from three main bets and 21 special side bets, ensuring plenty of chances to win big.”
In the spirit of Sic Bo, where the payout potential for each position or side bet you play is mapped on the table, this title offers an easy-to-read layout showing the position you bet on (Player, Tie or Banker), any of the 21 side bets you have added to your wager, and a roadmap showing the results of the past 500 hands.
To keep you on the edge of your set, each betting position and side bet can randomly be assigned a win multiplier to increase your rewards dramatically.
At its core, Mega Sic Bac is a super simple game, making it ideal for players new to live casino games to get comfortable interacting with hosts and chatting with other players while managing their gameplay.
To get started, all you need to do is select your bet size and decide whether to place your chips on the Player, Banker, or Tie positions. Your bet is placed in the position that you believe will have the highest combined value of the two dice, or if you think they will be the same value, then you bet on Tie.
When it comes to placing your chip, it is not an either-or scenario; you can stake any combination of the three positions, adding or removing chips at will until the counter runs out and the game begins.
When the game is live, the dealer presses the roll button, which activates the four dice shakers. The shakers are split into two colours: blue for the Player position and red for the Banker position.
In addition to the choice of Player, Banker or Tie, you can add your choice of 21 side bets to your wager at the beginning of each round. Each of these is a standalone bet, which is added to your total and will receive its random payout booster.
The available side bets are:
Each round of Mega Sic Bac progresses as follows:
A countdown to the next game will activate, and you have this period of time to decide if you want to stick with your existing bets or play a new selection.
While Mega Sic Bac is a straightforward live dealer casino game to play, mastering the game will require you to become familiar with its return to player (RTP) rates, payout potential, win boosters, and how it varies from its source games.
Most online slots offer an RTP of 96.00%, but Mega Sic Bac offers 98.26% for bets placed on Player and Banker, with a slightly lower 97.54% on a Tie bet. Simply put, in this game, betting on a Tie is the wild bet.
There is a simple rule you need to remember when it comes to any game of chance, the higher the reward, the less likely the outcome. This means the bet with the monstrous jackpot is unlikely to hit easily. This is why games like Blackjack offer 1:1 payouts because it is fairly common to win a hand.
