ABOUT EZ BACCARAT™
EZ Baccarat is a 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. The EZ Baccarat method bars a three card total of seven and is trademarked as the “Dragon 7™”. Players can also make optional side wagers called Dragon 7 and Panda 8. The Dragon 7 is when the Banker wins with a total of seven consisting of three cards and pays 40 to 1. The Panda 8 is when the Player wins with a total of eight consisting of three cards and pays 25 to 1. The EZ Baccarat methodology and side bets bet were co-created by Robin Powell and TJ Tejeda of Talisman Group. 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.
