[DRG7-RULE] Gaming-lab specification DRG7 evaluates Dragon 7 (EZ Baccarat) across 416 cards: Wins 40 to 1 when Banker wins with an exact three-card total of 7 (the barred push hand in EZ Baccarat). Out of 4,998,398,275,503,360 six-card 8-deck deals, exactly 112,633,259,212,800 produce a winning 3-card Banker 7 against Player 0–6.

[DRG7-EDGE] Floor audit DRG7 settles a 2.2534% hit rate against the 40 to 1 paytable, which benchmarks a 7.6103% house hold and 6.028u volatility across California cardrooms, Las Vegas Strip EZ Baccarat pits, and British Columbia casinos. Because DRG7 isolates card ranks and totals dealt from the 8-deck shoe, scoreboard trends on Big Eye Boy, Small Road, and Cockroach Pig never alter DRG7 probabilities.
