Each 4D operator has a slightly different prize structure. This page compares typical payouts for a S$1 Big bet across Singapore operators.
Note: Actual payouts may differ slightly by operator and bet type (Big vs Small vs iBox). Verify with the operator's official source before playing.
| Category | Big (per S$1) | Small (per S$1) | iBox note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | S$2,500 | S$3,500 | Divided by unique permutations |
| 2nd Prize | S$1,000 | S$2,000 | Divided by unique permutations |
| 3rd Prize | S$500 | S$1,000 | Divided by unique permutations |
| Special (10 numbers) | S$180 | — | |
| Consolation (10 numbers) | S$60 | — |
Big covers 23 prize categories (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 10 Special, 10 Consolation) but pays less per win. Small covers only the top 3 categories but pays roughly 1.4–2x more.
For casual players: Big is generally better because it produces small wins more often, encouraging responsible play.
For players with strong conviction in a specific number: Small offers maximum return if that number truly hits a top prize.
Many experienced players split bets: e.g. RM2 Big + RM1 Small for diversification.
iBox payouts are divided by the number of unique permutations:
• 4 different digits (e.g. 1234): divide by 24 • 1 pair of same digits (e.g. 1123): divide by 12 • 2 pairs of same digits (e.g. 1122): divide by 6 • 3 same digits (e.g. 1112): divide by 4
Example: 1234 iBox wins 1st prize Big. Payout S$2,500 ÷ 24 = S$104.16 per S$1 bet.
