A Quick Guide To Playing Online Sic Bo

In the Asian region, Sic Bo is one of the most played games. This is here in 12BET,  we are including it in our live game tournament. Sic Bo, however, tends to intimidate many players, most especially those who will be playing this game for the first time. Thus, the question, how is Sic Bo played?

Sic Bo and other dice game

Sic Bo uses three dice and you have to predict its outcome after they have been rolled. Usually, in other dice games, it is the player that rolls the dice. But this is a bit different in Sic Bo. Here, the dealer uses the so-called “dice shaker,” where the dice are placed. This oval-shaped platform vibrates in order to shake the three dice. Once done, it shall reveal the outcome.

The sic bo table

In order to win big in sic bo, you need to understand its table layout. One of the first things that you will notice is a row of numbers from 1 to 6. This is located at the bottom of the table. This row represents the number bets.

Meanwhile, in the middle portion, you will find images of two dice combinations. You will also see labels such as 1:6, 1:8 etc. Now, this is where you can place your pair bets.

Lastly, on the topmost part of the table, you will see labels such as small, big and any triple. When you place your bets there, it means that you are trying to predict the outcome of the three dice.

Indeed, if you look carefully, sic bo’s table layout is not that confusing at all. It is because, all the possible bets that you can make are already stated in the layout. This is in stark contrast to other table games where you need to check charts or guides.

Do you want to put your sic bo knowledge to a test? Join 12BET’s live tournament today! Experience the best of live sic bo, baccarat, blackjack and roulette in one click! Become one of our top players and bring home exciting rewards NOW.

From Italy To France To The World Wide Web: Tracing Baccarat’s Roots

Tagged as the game of the so-called “gambling elite,” baccarat was initially perceived as the game exclusive to high rollers. As a matter of fact, private rooms were even allotted for baccarat aficionados who further sealed its reputation as the game of the rich and the famous.

However, as years go by, this stereotype slowly faded away. With the introduction of online casinos, more and more players, regardless of their social status, have enjoyed this particular game.

Baccarat’s origins
Through the years, heated debates have cropped up with regards to how baccarat started. This can be attributed to the fact that the term “baccarra” which means nothing or zero is present in the Italian and French vocabulary. It is because of this similarity that certain problems arose with regards to attributing baccarat’s humble origins.

Italy or France?

Despite of the arguments about baccarat’s beginnings, most of the contemporary historians agree on one thing—that the game, indeed, originated from Italy and was later on introduced in France by no other than Charles VIII.

How the game is played

Simplicity is perhaps one of the major reasons behind baccarat’s popularity, In order to win, the player simply needs to get a total of nine (9) points or closer. Usually, they are given two (2) to three (3) cards. The value of these cards should be added together until the desired value is reached. Cards from 2 to 9 retain their face value, whereas a different value is given to other cards. Face cards such as the queen, jack and king has no value at all. The same thing applies to the number 10 card. Ace, on the other hand, has a value of 1.

What if the total value is greater than 9?

Rookie players tend to be confused when it comes to determining the winners. This is most especially true if the total value of the cards exceeds 9. In this case, the player simply needs to subtract 10 from the whole value of the cards that they received. For example, a player who gets a  2 and a 9 literally gets a total value of 11. But in the game, 10 should be subtracted. Therefore, the player will only have a total value of 1.

Needless to say, the exclusivity that baccarat once enjoyed is no longer practiced and observed. As mentioned, more and more players are now enjoying this game. From Italy to France and now in the World Wide Web, baccarat is indeed, a worthy game to play.

Poker Takes The Online World By Storm

Poker’s fame did not end at brick and mortar casinos. Like a speed of light, it also took over the World Wide Web and reached even more players. When online casinos were introduced, it gave the players a new platform where they can enjoy poker.


1994—the evolution

Year 1994 is an important period not only in poker, but also in the whole online gambling industry. It was the year when Antigua, Bermuda implemented the Free Trade And Processing Zone Act. This act issued license to online casino operators.



The first online poker room

There have been debates on whether it was InterCasino or Planet Poker that first launched the online poker room in 1999. But if there was something really important that happened during this year, it was the increasing growth of online casinos that featured poker.

Enter Chris Moneymaker

Chris Moneymaker is a prominent poker figure. Likewise, it is because of him that online poker gained more attention. After winning in an online poker marathon, it secured him a seat in the World Series of Poker (WSOP). Much to the surprise of many, Moneymaker won in the tournament. He brought home a $300 million worth of prizes. Inspired by his story, the so-called “moneymaker effect” was coined to describe the unexpected rise of online poker players.

Online poker in Asia

Online poker’s growth is not limited to the western region. As a matter of fact, it has also reached the Asian territory. Studies and researches also show major developments in China and Vietnam. Actually, some of the most notable poker players such as Johnny Chan and Scotty Nguyen originated from those countries. While they are not online poker players, their presence is strong enough to trigger a growth of online poker players in the two regions.

Aside from China and Vietnam, a considerable growth can be also noticed in Thailand, Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Philippines.

Indeed, even the online world did not escape poker’s influence. The truth is, it even encouraged more players to join the poker bandwagon.

Get Instant Play In A Flash!

Thanks to the flash application, many casino players are now enjoying the benefits of the instant play feature. Some online casinos offer this service alone. Yet, here in 12BET, we provide both the downloadable software and the instant play.

Flash Player In A Glance

The popularity of the flash player is brought by the fact that it enriches the user’s web experience via adding interactivity. It makes web surfing a lot more dynamic. This application enables one to watch videos and animations. It also paved way for music streaming and a better presentation of vivid and almost real-life graphics.

In as far as online casinos are concerned, the introduction of the flash player, has indeed, changed the way casino products are delivered. Highly accessible and convenient, it became an instant hit to players.

How Instant Play Came Into Life

It would not come as too much of a surprise if in the instant play feature hardly appeal to online players. With the limitations of the World Wide Web and technology, the no-download option yielded more problems. With graphics that would take forever to load, plus the constant browser crashes that players needed to overcome, they would rather sacrifice that disk space than to confront those issues. Another problem with the early versions is that players need to constantly restart.

However, due to technological advances, the issues encountered before were already a thing of the past. Nowadays, instant play is getting more and more attention. There is an evident increase in the number of gamblers that have been using this particular platform. As a matter of fact, one can hardly recognize the difference when they use the gaming software or the instant play. Internet connections have also improved drastically. Loading became a lot faster and players can also save their previous games. Along with this, security issues are also addressed. If there is any shortcoming—well, some of the games cannot be accommodated. But this is nothing serious compared to what the early players had to endure.

Choosing no-download casinos or the instant play feature presents no difference when using the software. Instead, it gives players more and better option. As for 12BET, offering this platform is part of our never-ending endeavor to deliver the best online casino experience.

Advanced Poker Strategy - Using Your Table Position Correctly

There are 3 areas of position in poker: the early position, middle position and late position. It is in relation to the button that goes around the table. Most beginner players do not take their position into account much, which is not right. This article will briefly explain the concept of table position, and how you can use your position to your advantage.

Advanced Poker Strategy Part 1: Early Position

The players to the immediate left of the big blind are players in the early position. Being in the early position means that the player is one of the first to act when the action starts. Being in the early position is considered to be a disadvantage. By being one of the first players to act, good opponents will usually have effective strategies to disrupt your play when they see what the early players do first.

Advanced Poker Strategy Part 2: Middle Position

Players to the left of players in the early position are in the middle position. Being in the middle position allows a player to watch the early position players first, but he still needs to consider the late position actions.

Advanced Poker Strategy Part 3: Late Position

Players in the late position are the last players to act in the round. Being in the late position allows a player to be in a situation where the hand has been checked around you, and have the opportunity to make a bluff at the pot and win it right there. Thus being in a late position is considered to be an advantage.

Being in different positions affects your current hand value significantly. Generally, being in an early position requires a player to play stronger hands, whereas being in a late position gives a player the option of playing drawing hands. - http://www.gamblingpace.com
