Across Manila's integrated resorts, baccarat accounts for the vast majority of table volume. Mass-market gaming floors predominantly deal No-Commission (Super 6) Baccarat—where Banker wins pay 1:1 except a winning Banker 6, which pays 1:2 (50%)—paired with Lucky 6 side wagers paying 12:1 on a two-card Banker 6 and 20:1 on a three-card Banker 6. Private VIP salons offer traditional 5% commission squeeze shoes with single-use factory-sealed 8-deck cards.
