How To Play

Also known as Big and Small, Tai Sai is an ancient Chinese game that can be intense or fun depending on how you want to play.

What is the objective of the game?

To correctly predict what will show face-up on the dice after they have been tumbled three times.

How do I play?

  1. Place a bet on the combinations of the dice by placing gaming chips in the different betting areas on the table. Every possible bet appears on the table layout, along with the odds for each bet (refer to diagram).
  2. You can bet on one die (that is, whether a certain number will appear on at least one die), two dice combinations (whether two numbers will appear), or the total value of all three dice, trebles, big and small.
  3. After the dice have been tumbled, and when all bets have been placed, the Dealer announces "No more bets". The dice, which are in a covered dome, are then revealed and the winning combinations are illuminated on the layout so you can see if you have won.
