Hall, President & CEO of DEQ. “EZ Baccarat is now entering the largest single baccarat market in the world where there are an estimated 3,000 baccarat tables.

ABOUT EZ BACCARAT™
EZ Baccarat is revolutionary method of accelerating the speed of baccarat by eliminating the commission. The winning hand bank commission is replaced by “barring” one specific winning bank hand and/or reducing the banked winning wagers. The EZ Baccarat method bars a three card total of seven and is trademarked as the “Dragon 7™”. Players can also make a side wager as to the occurrence of the Dragon 7. This side wager pays 40 to 1 and creates an additional way for the player to win and a new revenue source for the casino. The EZ Baccarat methodology and the Dragon 7 bet were co-created by Robin Powell and TJ Tejeda of the Talisman Group in conjunction with DEQ. These methods and trademarks are protected within the scope of DEQ’s no commission baccarat intellectual property portfolio that protects all methodologies such as barred hands and reduced banked winning wagers.
