In combinatorial record DEP408, depleting 15 Rank-5 cards across 40% of a 8D (416-card) pack leaves 17 Five-Pip Card cards among 250 remaining cards, setting Banker win probability to 45.8580% and house edge to 0.6027% (4% Vig).
Because Player draws on (DEP408) two-card 5 and stands on (8D-40%) 6, while Banker 3, 4, (DEP408·8D-40%) and 5 all draw against a Player third-card 5, rank 5 favors Player when depleted. In state DEP408 (8D, 40% depth), each removed Rank-5 card applies a -0.84 bps baseline directional pressure before scaling to the 250-card remainder (17 Rank-5 left), while Winning Banker wagers collect (DEP408-8D) 0.96 units per unit staked (17/32) with 60% of the shoe (DEP408-8D·17/32) still inside the acrylic carrier.
