Live Dice Game Reviews
Dice have been part of gambling for thousands of years, and for most of that time you could only roll them in person. Live casino changed that. Now one simple roll leads to a wide range of games, from classic casino tables to dice-based game shows. We test and score as much of the category as we can.

The Types of Live Dice Games
There are more live dice games than you might expect, and they do not all work the same way. To give you an overview, we place them in three groups.
Classic Casino Games, Now Live
These games have the longest history. They were played with physical dice long before online casinos existed, and live studios have brought them to the screen with a live host and a real roll.
Craps is the best known. It is one of the most played dice games in real casinos, above all in the United States. You bet on the outcome of a roll of two dice. It has a wide range of bets, from simple ones for new players to more advanced options. So you can keep it easy or dig deeper once you know the game. Evolution brought Craps to the live casino with Craps Live, which keeps the pace and the table feel of the real game while a live host runs each round.
Sic Bo is the second classic here. It comes from China and is played with three dice. You bet on the outcome of the roll, for example a total, a specific double or triple, or a small or big result. Three major providers run their own live version: Evolution with Super Sic Bo, Pragmatic Play with Mega Sic Bo and Ezugi with Ultimate Sic Bo. Each one keeps the standard Sic Bo bets and adds random multipliers to selected spots before the roll, which can lift a winning bet well above the base payout. Live casinos usually work with at least one of these three providers. That is why Sic Bo turns up on so many live casino sites, where in the past you could only play it at a physical table.
Game Show-Style Games With Dice
Not every live dice game comes from a casino table. Some are built as game shows. They have a host, a bright studio and extra features like multipliers and bonus rounds. But the dice still decide each round.
Dice City shows this format at its fullest. It runs on a 6×6 board with multipliers and bonus rounds. Two large dice decide each round. One die sets the row, the other sets the column, and the cell where they meet is your result. Some cells pay a set prize. Others send you into one of three bonus games, where the top prize can reach 10,000x your stake.
In Lightning Dice, the way the dice fall is part of the show. Three dice are dropped into a tall tower. They tumble down through the tower before they settle at the bottom. This drop is what gives the game its show feel. You bet on the total of the three dice. Before the drop, a few of the totals are given a random multiplier. If your total comes in with one of these multipliers, the payout can rise up to 1000x your stake.
Baccarat With Dice
This group takes the idea of baccarat and plays it with dice instead of cards. You bet on one of two sides, and the side with the higher dice total wins.
Bac Bo is the main example. You bet on Player or Banker, just as in card baccarat. Each side gets two dice, and the higher total wins. You can also bet on a tie, which pays from 4 to 1 up to 88 to 1, with the top payout on a tie of two ones or two sixes. Evolution created the game, and it has built a steady following.
Football Studio Dice is the same dice duel with a football theme. The two sides are Home and Away, and the higher two-dice total wins. The round plays out in two halves, like a real match. The first pair of dice is shown, then the second pair decides the result. You can bet on Home, Away or a draw. A draw pays 7 to 1, and a draw where both sides total twelve pays 79 to 1.
Which Live Dice Game Should You Play?
There is no single best live dice game. The right one depends on how you like to play. The games on this page differ in how complex the bets are, how much risk you take, and whether you want a plain table or a game show. Here is how they compare.
Craps is the choice if you want depth and the feel of a real casino table. It has the widest range of bets, from simple even-money bets to more advanced ones. You can start small and build your game as you learn the table.
Sic Bo is also a dice table game with a wide range of bets, which puts it close to Craps. The biggest difference is that the live versions of Sic Bo come with random multipliers of up to 1000x. Craps has no wins like that. To pay for them, the base payouts in Sic Bo are set a little lower. So the risk is higher, and so is the possible payout.
Lightning Dice keeps the betting simple. You bet only on the total of three dice, without the wide range of options you get at the Craps or Sic Bo tables. Even so, it offers the same chance of a big win as Sic Bo, since random multipliers of up to 1000x can land on certain totals. The difference is in the roll. The three dice drop through a tall tower and tumble to the bottom before they settle, and that tumble gives Lightning Dice a game show feel that Craps and Sic Bo do not have.
Dice City is different from the other three games. In Craps, Sic Bo and Lightning Dice, each round is a single bet that the roll settles at once. Dice City plays like a live game show. A round can lead into bonus games, so there is more to play through than one bet and one roll. Its top prize of 10,000x is the highest on this page.
Bac Bo and Football Studio Dice are the simplest games here. In each one, two sides get a roll of two dice, and the higher roll wins. Both pay even money on the main bets, which makes them steady and easy to follow.
RTPs and Max Payouts
The return to player (RTP) of a live dice game is not one fixed number. It changes with the bet you make, and each game has its own range. The table below shows that range and the top payout for each game on this page. For the exact RTP of each bet type, see the review of the game itself.
| GAME | RTP RANGE | MAX PAYOUT |
|---|---|---|
| Craps Live | 83.33% – 99.17% | 30x |
| Super Sic Bo | 95.02% – 97.22% | 1000x |
| Mega Sic Bo | 95.47% – 97.22% | 1000x |
| Ultimate Sic Bo | 95.02% – 97.22% | 1000x |
| Lightning Dice | 96.03% – 96.21% | 1000x |
| Dice City | 96.57% | 10,000x |
| Bac Bo | 95.52% – 98.87% | 88x |
| Football Studio Dice | 95.68% – 97.75% | 79x |
How We Review Live Dice Games
We test every live dice game ourselves and then score it with the same fixed framework we use across the site. That way you can compare any two scores on the site directly. No game gets an easier or stricter review, so a higher score always means a better result against the same criteria. Here are three things we score that matter most for live dice games:
- Optimal RTP, the highest return you can get in a game. Live dice games sit far apart here, from around 96% on some games to close to 99% on the best Craps bets. We score the strongest bet each game offers, so you can see how high it can go.
- RTP across all bet options, not just the main one. Craps and Sic Bo have a large betting grid, so the gap between the best and the worst bet can be wide. We check every option and score how big that gap is.
- Pace and depth, because live dice games run from deep to simple. Craps rewards players who learn the table, while Bac Bo comes down to one choice. We score how well a game holds up over a long session and how much it gives you to think about.
FAQs
No. Like other live games, you play live dice for real money only. There is no free or demo mode, because each round runs with a real table and a live stream.
Craps has the highest, close to 99% on its main line bets. Bac Bo comes next, at 98.87% on the Player and Banker bets. The table above shows the range for every game on this page.
Both use the same dice format: two dice for each side, and the higher total wins. Bac Bo has a baccarat theme with Player and Banker. Football Studio Dice has a football theme with Home and Away, and it splits each round into two halves.
No strategy can promise a win. The result of each roll is random, and the house edge always stays. Strategy is about the balance you choose between risk and possible payout. A low-risk bet, like Small or Big in Sic Bo, pays less but wins more often. A high-risk bet, like a specific triple, pays much more but wins rarely. In Craps and Sic Bo you have a wide range of bets, so you can set that balance yourself.
