SUPER 6

Who would have thought that 6 is a lucky number?

This game is basically Baccarat, but the House does not collect a 5% commission on winning Banker bets. But when the Banker has a score of six, popularly coined, "Super 6," Banker bets are paid 0.5-to-1, while Super 6 bets are paid 12-to-1 and the Banker bet gets paid 50%. The Super 6 bet is based on the proposition that a particular deal would result in a Super 6. In general, winning hands are paid even money. If the final count of the Banker is 6 while Player has less than 6, bets on the Banker and Super 6 win and the game is a Super 6.

Bets on the Super 6 lose when the deal results in a Draw, or any other outcome that is not a Super 6.
