In the framework of the tight binding approximation, we study a non-interacting model on the three-component dice lattice with real nearest-neighbor and complex next-nearest-neighbor hopping subjected to $Lambda$- or V-type sublattice potentials. By analyzing the dispersions of corresponding energy bands, we find that the system undergoes a metal-insulator transition which can be modulated not only by the Fermi energy but also the tunable extra parameters. Furthermore, rich topological phases, including the ones with high Hall plateau, are uncovered by calculating the associated bands Chern number. Besides, we also analyze the edge-state spectra and discuss the correspondence between Chern numbers and the edge states by the principle of bulk-edge correspondence.
