In absorbing-barrier comparative trial S380-0, running HK 6-Step against Macau 3-Step for 288 hands of 4-Shoe Streak (streak) on 180 units charts 18.21u vs 7.07u in expected toll and 29.51% vs 14.00% ruin under a 100-unit pit limit. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under No-Commission Banker 6 (0.50:1 on 6) (1.4579% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
