[vpFREE] LVA Question of the Day - 8 MAR 2011

 

LVA Question of the Day - 8 MAR 2011

Q: I'm hoping you can clarify something for me. I am a big
fan of Las Vegas documentaries. Two of the documentaries
I've seen seem to conflict each other. One claims that
baccarat didn't come to Las Vegas until Frank Sinatra
brought it to the Sands in the early 1960s. Another shows
early songstress Rose Marie claiming that Bugsy Siegel once
gave her $10,000 to play baccart at the Flamingo. How could
Rose Marie have been playing baccarat in 1946 if it wasn't
introduced for another 15 years? Any insight on this? When
(and who) first brought baccarat to Las Vegas?

The above would be true if ALL other hands were losers.
Assumming no progressive for the undealt royal. Each $3248.70 (over the base $4,000) adds 0.1% to the EV of the base game. Thus you need to know what the normal value of the base game is. Ex: If the base game is 9-6 DDB that is a 98.98% game with a $4,000 royal. If it pays a bonus on the dealt royal, the total value of the dealt royal would have to be about $37136 to make it a 100% game. That does not count tax considerations. This site or vpgenius.com etc. lists the value of many games. I am assumming you do not have vp software like Video Poker for winners, Frugal Video Poker etc. that do these calculations.
