In Asia Baccarat is 90% of the all table games and it is all non commission Bac. I have visited about 6 major casinos in Macau and they all are the same.

Two people have been charged related to a cheating incident at the Encore Boston Harbor Casino in Massachusetts, where the defendants in the case stole $23,500 over the course of two nights.
Phil Ivey calls himself 'the greatest poker player of all time,' but a casino in Atlantic City has accused him of being something else: a cheat.
In a lawsuit, the Borgata claims Ivey pocketed more than $9.6 million by cheating at baccarat, the card game made famous by James Bond where the object is to pick the hand with the value closest to nine.
As a well-known poker pro who has won nine World Series of Poker bracelets and nearly $22 million in prize money, Phil Ivey was allowed to make a lot of requests. When he visited the Borgata in 2012, he requested a private pit, a particular set of playing cards and an automatic shuffler. Initially the hotel was happy to oblige the gambler, but now the casino thinks he made those requests just so he could cheat, reports CBS News correspondent Vinita Nair.
The casino claims in court documents that Ivey and a female accomplice studied the edges of the playing cards for tell-tale imperfections. Once Ivey knew the value of those cards, he could then make big bets when those cards were re-dealt. It's a tactic called edge-sorting.

Gaming consultant Eliot Jacobson said playing cards often have irregular patterns along the edges because of printing errors.
'The casinos should be more careful with the cards they use, but the truth is that most of the decks of cards that are out there have some sort of design flaw,' he said. Us based online sportsbooks.
According to the Borgata lawsuit, Ivey visited the casino four times in 2012. He was betting as much as $100,000 per hand.
The casino says edge sorting gave Ivey at least a 6.5 percent edge over the house, or more than $6,500 dollars won for every $100,000 wagered.
'By itself, there's nothing inherently wrong with edge sorting,' Jacobson said. 'The question is what else did he do? Did he involve the dealers in some sort of collusion? Did he work out some sort of deal with the card manufacturer?' Is card counting legal.
Borgata officials finally caught on after Ivey's fourth visit, when they learned he had been accused of edge sorting by the London casino Crockfords, which withheld more than $12 million of his winnings just two months earlier.
Ivey filed a lawsuit to force Crockfords to release his earnings, and this time he's betting on the law.
Ivey's representative told CBS News that Ivey takes the matter seriously and will defend himself against any questions of his integrity. Edge sorting has never been declared illegal anywhere, which means Ivey's cases could have the potential to set a big precedent.
My thinking is can the casino play with a 'short deck' similar to BJ.
Can they take out some high or low cards and change the odds of the game. It is non-commission baccarat so they put in the extra '6' card.
Where I play most player bet on Banker as it appears more often and seems to be looking for streaks all the time. So it would make sense for the casino to change the odds in favour of Player and win more.
I play on the ETG and I can see the dealer cutting the deck of cards so all cards coming out from the shuffler cannot be changed.
Other than this I can think of no other way they can cheat. Ideally for them is if they can see the loading or betting on Banker and Player and adjust the odds by computer to give them maximum yield. They are using their own self-made ETG machine which they only use on their casino ships.
But you would have heard of them. They are the Genting Group which is a global casino company.
On a cruise ship I would expect most players to be amateurs and would bet on the Player hand but Bankers hand does usually come out a smidgen ahead hence the customary five percent which for speed is often eliminated by a slight change in the rules.
If they get the cards pre-shuffled in a large cannister its likely its legit, even if its their own cannister.
There is no way they can change the cards 'on the fly' when betting by the players suddenly varies; the casino would be too worried about collaboration to allow such a set up. Dealers would have their friends show up and all bet Banker then Banker again but suddenly pull the bets back to Player to take advantage of some button having been pressed. Casinos don't care much about players but they do worry about Dealers and collaboration.
ETG ????
Casino ship, cruise to nowhere, overnight cruise.
You are out of date. No more 5%commission. All no commission Banker win on 6 pays 1/2. Speed of play is much faster.
if you think they arranged the cards to have more Player, then BET Player in stead of whining about it, for crying out loud.
i REALLY REALLY REALLY don't understand why someone would accuse the casino of 'cheating' when they are free to bet either Banker or Player.
if you think they arranged the cards to have more Player, then BET Player in stead of whining about it, for crying out loud.

Simple answer is if there are more '6' cards in the deck the HA goes up and the casino wins more.
It is all non commission baccarat nowadays.
No it isn't.
Can Casino Cheat Baccarat
Despite the conspiracy threads that pop up on here regularly, I have never heard of any court case where a major casino was proven to have messed with the deck, at least in this century.
