Table Reality Check

Myth vs. Truth

MythIn Macau Cotai (The Venetian Macao & Wynn Palace Cotai) or South Florida (Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood), flat per-hand collection fees in California-style cardrooms have the same percentage cost across every bet size.
TruthUnder both Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ) and Seminole Tribal Gaming Commission, a fixed dollar collection fee represents a heavy percentage drag on small wagers while shrinking proportionally as wager size increases, unlike a flat percentage vig.
MythOn LT Game & Angel Eye 5-Road Bead-to-Cockroach Matrix in Macau Cotai and TCS John Huxley Ora Luxe Displays in South Florida, red marks on derived roads indicate Banker and blue marks indicate Player.
TruthAcross MFM, MIA, and DEN, derived-road red (=) always indicates repeating Big Road column structure and blue (≠) indicates a break in symmetry, never Banker or Player.
