As the centerpiece of the CityCenter complex on the Las Vegas Strip, ARIA Resort & Casino features one of the most modern baccarat floor plans in Nevada. Rather than mixing high-limit baccarat into a general table pit, ARIA houses a dedicated glass-enclosed Baccarat Lounge leading directly into Salon Privé.
ARIA's Baccarat Lounge and Salon Privé focus on 8-deck Midi-Baccarat with 5% Banker commission and optional EZ Baccarat tables, while the main casino floor outside the lounge offers lower-minimum dealer-turned Mini-Baccarat.

On our 42-hand sample shoe for Aria (25 Banker wins, 16 Player wins, 1 Ties across 19 Big Road columns), the locked engine verifies Big Eye Boy (Lookback 1) Verified Mark #3: "Column 2 has 3 beads. Column 1 has 3 beads. Same depth → red (=)." If a Hand #43 were dealt next on this board, the Ask Banker probe would show Big Eye Boy RED, Small Road RED, and Cockroach Pig RED, while Ask Player would invert every mark. Remember that scoreboards log completed hands and never alter the probabilities of the remaining cards in the 8-deck shoe.
Enter any sequence to inspect the Big Road, Big Eye Boy, Small Road, Cockroach Pig, and next-hand previews.
