In Massachusetts (MA), Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) enforces 205 CMR 146.13 & MGC Approved Baccarat Game Rules across licensed casino pits in Everett, Springfield, and Plainville. Every Massachusetts table game license holder must submit 8-deck shoe specifications, Category 1 High-Limit Midi-Baccarat felt layouts, and 5% Banker vigorish or MGC-certified EZ Baccarat three-card Banker 7 push plaques to MGC compliance inspectors before opening a pit in Massachusetts.
Players visiting Massachusetts casinos in Everett, Springfield, and Plainville encounter Category 1 High-Limit Midi-Baccarat, Commonwealth Mini-Baccarat, and EZ Baccarat 205 CMR dealt from 8-deck MGC-inspected dealing shoe at Category 1 resort casinos equipment. Under 205 CMR 146.13 & MGC Approved Baccarat Game Rules, MGC locks the Player 0–5 draw rule and the Banker third-card matrix across all 3 indexed Massachusetts properties.

Across Everett, Springfield, and Plainville, Everett Harbor and Springfield dual-sided 5-road electronic displays display the Bead Plate, the 6-row Big Road, and the three lookback grids (Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig) for Massachusetts (MA) players. On this 40-hand Massachusetts trajectory (21 Banker wins, 17 Player wins, and 2 ties across 25 MA columns), MGC-compliant boards generate 35 Big Eye Boy marks, 33 Small Road marks, and 31 Cockroach Pig marks.
Because 205 CMR 146.13 & MGC Approved Baccarat Game Rules requires physical 8-deck card shuffles and burn procedures at every Massachusetts (MA) table in Everett, Springfield, and Plainville, scoreboard streaks recorded on Everett Harbor and Springfield dual-sided 5-road electronic displays reflect completed MA hands only and never alter the mathematical odds of the next card dealt in Massachusetts.
