Why Do Casinos Have An Approx 14.4% Win Percentage At Bac With a 1.2% H.E.
Q: Is it due to players busting out often and multiple buyins per session?
Is it due to players giving back winnings?
Is it due to players constantly having to REwin previously won monies?
Is it due to players setting predetermined and unrealistic win goals? Loss limits?
Is it simply due to the high volatility of Bac?
Other?
As we will recall the casinos win % is simply (Revenue / Handle = Win%).
So for example if Casino XYZ showed a monthly Baccarat tables Revenue of $870,000 /Handle of $5,850,000 then
Win % =14.87%.
I was recently viewing reports, studies, and papers at the UNLV Center for Gaming Research site. A great site from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. I encourage you to check it out if you haven't already.
Several studies showed the results for Bac by months/years for individual casinos. Some studies even go back a decade or more.
What was interesting is that casinos' Bac win% didn't really change much on average as most months seem to range from approx 10% up to approx 18% for the whole month. Im sure much volatility if viewed by day or week.
Some casinos actually show a loss at their Bac tables for the whole month. One study showed that a casinos' bac tables netted a loss for 12 out of 78 months(15%). However, in 25 out of 78 months (32% of the time) the casino netted a win% of greater than (20%). Which was significantly higher than the aforementioned average of 14.4% win percentage.
One casino took a beatdown from the players for a whole month and showed a (-75% loss). Yes, u read that correctly. So casinos must deal with volatility too. It would be interesting to know if this (-75%) loss for one month was due to one large bettor zinging them from one monstrous streak( I doubt it as most cas have low Tmax or typically <=$10K). I would guess it was likely due to 4-5 players at the same table wagering a similar method and catching 2-3 high-variance shoes back to back, then leaving after their cash extraction. Thus not giving the cas a chance to win it back.
Any thoughts or opinions?
