Duo Bao Analyzed for Better Gameplay

Introduction

If my translation is accurate, Duo Bao translates to 'Many Treasures'. This is a baccarat variant that includes multiple poker-style side bets. Given that its rules mirror those of traditional baccarat, I would categorize this game as a variety of baccarat side bets.

I am uncertain of the exact locations for these side bets; however, from what I can infer from the website, they seem to be expanding their reach throughout Asia. Duo Bao This variation of the game utilizes eight decks of cards, akin to standard baccarat.

Rules

1. All wagers can involve cards from either the Player or the Banker.
2. Bets based on poker combinations that typically need five cards still apply here. Specifically, a straight, flush, straight flush, or royal flush must consist of a minimum of five cards.
3. Winning combinations for three of a kind through five of a kind must have that many cards at least, though they can include more. For instance, if a bet is placed on three of a kind, it would still pay out if four of a kind occurs.
4. A straight flush bet wins if a royal flush appears. Similarly, straight and flush bets pay out on either a straight flush or royal flush.
5. The table below illustrates the odds and house edge tied to each bet option. Payouts are expressed on a 'to one' scale. The inverse column indicates the inverse of the likelihood, showcasing the average number of hands played before a win. The total number of winning permutations stands against a grand total of 4,998,398,275,503,360.
