Four-deck mid-tier Asian VIP rooms and compact automatic shuffler shoes. In a fresh 4-deck shoe containing 208 cards (64 zero-value cards and 16 of each pip Ace–9), exact six-card enumeration yields 45.8761% Banker wins, 44.6340% Player wins, and 9.4898% Ties, resulting in a 1.0517% Banker house edge and 1.2421% Player house edge.

[D4-INVENTORY] Four decks contain 208 cards (sixty-four 0-point cards and sixteen of each numeral A–9), generating over 7.67 quadrillion ordered six-card deals. At 208 cards, finite without-replacement sampling retains half the depletion sensitivity of a 2-deck shoe and twice the sensitivity of a standard 8-deck carrier.
[D4-PAYOUTS] Tie frequency advances to 9.5418%, lowering the 8-to-1 Tie house edge to 14.124% while Banker 5% commission house edge settles at 1.051%. Both-sides natural collisions occur more frequently than in single-deck play, increasing natural standoffs that return main bets untouched.
