In head-to-head trial S377-0 across 216 deals (Player 1:1 Streak, 1.2351% edge), HK 6-Step records a -50u peak trajectory and 30.20% ruin probability on a 140-unit stack, whereas Macau 3-Step logs a -23u trough and 12.86% ruin under the 90-unit limit. Because every 8-deck coup is statistically independent under Even-Money Player Side (1.235% edge) (1.2351% edge), progression rules alter drawdown speed and table-cap collisions without changing per-hand expectation.
