“We have been working a long while for this significant approval, and it has certainly been worth it.” stated Earle G. Hall, President & CEO at DEQ. “Macau has by far the largest concentration of baccarat tables in the world and this approval is a great start to our Asian commercialization strategy for this revenue generating product for the casinos.”
EZ Baccarat has penetrated close to 50% of the California baccarat market of which Pechanga, Barona and Morongo have converted 100% of their games. Wynn, MGM and Paris casinos in Las Vegas have also integrated EZ Baccarat and well as over 10 other casinos in the USA and Canada in jurisdictions including Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Missouri and British Columbia.
EZ Baccarat is revolutionary method of accelerating the speed of baccarat by eliminating the commission. The winning hand bank commission is replaced by “barring” one specific winning bank hand and/or reducing the banked winning wagers. The EZ Baccarat method bars a three card total of seven and is trademarked as the “Dragon 7”. Players can also make a side wager as to the occurrence of the Dragon 7.
This side wager pays 40 to 1 and creates an additional way for the player to win and a new revenue source for the casino. The EZ Baccarat methodology and the Dragon 7 bet were co-created by Robin Powell and TJ Tejeda of the Talisman Group in conjunction with DEQ. These methods and trademarks are protected within the scope of DEQ’s no commission baccarat intellectual property portfolio that protects all methodologies such as barred hands and reduced banked winning wagers.
