Stress test S297-0 calibrates Macau 3-Step VIP Bullet (1-3-7 cap) against Flat 1-Unit Baseline (1-1-1-1 constant unit) inside a 60-unit bankroll over 72 hands (5% Comm Chop, chop), where a 50-unit table ceiling produces 14.74% vs 5.84% ruin rates and dissects 0.69u in eight-deck vigorish drag. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under 5% Banker Commission (0.95:1) (1.0579% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
