Dragon 7

Baccarat (EZ Baccarat)REPORTED

A side bet in EZ Baccarat that pays 40:1 when the banker hand wins with a three-card total of 7 and the player hand has less than 7. When this outcome occurs, the main banker bet is a push (does not win or lose). The Dragon 7 wager exists to compensate players for the banker push outcome.

In practice

The Dragon 7 carries a house edge of approximately 7.6%. It occurs roughly 2-3 times per shoe in an eight-deck game. Surveillance should monitor for players who only bet Dragon 7 without main wagers.
