[D6-INVENTORY] Six decks total 312 cards (ninety-six 0-value cards and twenty-four per pip rank), forming the primary alternative to 8-deck shoes across Las Vegas and Atlantic City. With 312 cards in the acrylic carrier, each card removed represents 0.321% of the initial pack, yielding a 1.0558% Banker house edge and 1.2355% Player house edge.
[D6-PAYOUTS] Six-deck Tie frequency equals 9.5449% (14.096% house edge at 8-to-1), making 6-deck slightly tighter against Tie bettors than 8-deck while slightly friendlier to Banker bettors. Six-deck Dragon Bonus and Pair side bets use dedicated 312-card combinatorial tables because suited pair frequency is lower in 6 decks than in 8 decks.
