Two new live-table baccarat side bets, “Lucky 7” and “Super Lucky 7,” will be introduced at gaming tables in Macau on September 30th, following approval from the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau (DICJ).
Industry sources cited by Macau News Agency, anticipate these new betting options will enhance casino revenue during the upcoming National Day Golden Week, echoing the earlier introduction of the “Lucky Six” bet before the May Day Golden Week, which saw record gross gaming revenue of MOP20.19 billion ($2.53 billion) in May.
The “Super Lucky 7” option offers the highest payout of 100 to 1 for a winning player hand with seven points against a banker hand with six, highlighting baccarat’s dominance as it accounted for 85 percent of Macau’s overall gross revenue in Q2 2024.
