A few dice of fish, shrimp and crab

The six faces of the cube dice with uniform texture are engraved with points of 1 to 6 respectively. There are three situations in which the dice are thrown once and the number of points to the upper side is even.

It is a traditional game that originated in the south of China and has a long history. The game is similar to sic bo. Generally, three dice are used to play games, but the six points of the dice are changed into patterns (fish, shrimp, crab, money, gourd and chicken). The concept of the game is simple. Players only need to choose a dice pattern on one side. If the result of rolling the dice is the same as the player's choice, the player wins the game, otherwise he loses.

Since the Qing dynasty, the entertainment mode of dice has been basically decided, generally using three dice and a dice cup. The simplest dice cup can be replaced by a wooden bowl or a pottery bowl. Put a bottom plate under it to cover it when you roll the dice. Neither the dealer nor the player knows the number of dice. This method is mysterious.

It is convenient for the dealer to create an atmosphere for players to gather at the table to bet. There is a beautifully made dice game set in the casino, which matches the cup. Its name is sic bo. In order to prevent bookmakers from rolling dice or cheating, Han Ye, a generation of gamblers, invented the electric sic bo, which is still used in Macau casinos.
