Big vs Small — which is better?
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.
How iBox payouts are calculated
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.
