Board games for elite audiences
1) What distinguishes an elite table
Limits and caps: personal min/max per position, individual payout cap per round/session in writing.
Privacy: Salon Privé/private table, fixed window, shooting ban, "quiet visit."
Rules: Minimum house versions. advantage; the rules table is fixed in the offer.
Service: fixed host/SPOC 24/7, pit boss in 2-5 minutes on call, priority cash desks.
Finance: front money/marker, whitelisting details, same-day payments up to the agreed threshold.
2) Punto Banco - VIP standard
Mathematics (landmarks): Banker ~ 1.06% (with a commission of 5%), Player ~ 1.24%; Tie - high edge, not core.
No-Commission options: "Banker 6 - half/push" boosts home margins; take a classic commission if the goal is a minimum edge.
Limits: High on Banker/Player, lowered on Tie; side bets (Pairs/Dragon) - only a small fraction.
Operating protocol: clear accounting of the commission, transparent change of noise, squeeze - optional (does not affect EV).
Checklist: 5% commission on Banker, limits on Tie and sides separately, payout cap, controversial hands magazine.
3) Blackjack - rule choice = math
Optimal rules for VIP:
4) Roulette - European/French only
European (1 zero): home. advantage ~ 2.70%.
French (La Partage/En Prison on even-money): ~ 1.35% on red/black, even/odd, etc.
American (00): ~ 5.26% - not for premium, if there is an alternative.
Sectors and neighbors: fix max per number and per sector; advertised bids through the dealer.
Pace: Speed /Auto ↑skorost, but also burn-rate; monitor the unit duration.
Checklist: wheel type, La Partage, sector caps, per-spin payout cap, late bet ban.
5) Craps (for advanced VIPs)
Low edge base: Pass/Don't Pass, Come/Don't Come; maximum odds (clean, no edge).
High variance: prop rates (Any 7, Hardways) - only as a small fraction.
Protocol: fixing max odds, limits on props, throwing discipline (without "setting" disputes).
Checklist: odds limits, prop caps, dispute/rate equalization procedure.
6) Casino poker (tables versus dealer)
Options: Caribbean/Ultimate Texas/3-Card/4-Card and analogues; each has its own paytable.
Edge and limits: Check paytable (especially for special hands/bonuses), cap on side jackpots.
Tactics: basic decision charts; avoid double-digit margin "bait" sides.
Checklist: official paytable, limits on ante/play/blind, bonus rules, payout cap.
7) Side bets and jackpots - when appropriate
The purpose of the "peaks": a small% bankroll for the sake of fine payments.
Transparency: individual caps and jackpot report (seed, contribution, qualification conditions).
Control: fix the limit on sides/round and the total daily limit on "entertainment" bets.
8) Limits, chips, marker and front money
Item limits: document with min/max per bet/hand/sector/box; separate limits for sides.
Payout cap: for a round/session with the operator (may be lower than the theoretical max win) - fix it in the offer.
Front money: foresees to the cashier, speeds up the game/cashout.
Credit line: limit and closing period; missed deadlines = sanctions/limit cuts.
Accounting for chips: registered color checks, conversion to write, a separate high-limit magazine.
9) Dispute Protocol and SLA
SLA VIP: manager arrival 2-5 min; stabilization P1 (payout error/block) ≤15 min; solution ≤2 h (online: ticket + ETA).
Evidence base: video/hand-logs/dealer checklists, report within 24 hours.
Escalation: L1 dealer/pit → L2 manager/those → L3 games director/VIP → L4 operations director.
10) Bankroll and pace prep
Baccarat: 100-300 base rate units per block; consider fees.
Blackjack: 50-200 units under basic strategy; tempo 50-100 hands/hour (private).
Roulette: 200-500 units; keep track of the number of spins/hour and sector limits.
Craps: agree on the maximum odds, keep the proportion of props ≤10% of the baselines.
Stop rules: stop loss/stop wine, block duration 30-45 minutes, breaks.
11) Onsite vs live studios (online)
Onsite: flexible limits, private areas, faster dispute resolution.
Online live: fix rules and video recording; check latency, betting window, per-round cap, sidelines.
Communication: direct channel to host for reserve/escalation; individual VIP finance contact.
12) Documents and Compliance (for Australians)
KYC/SoF/SoW: Prepare ahead for high limits and cashouts.
AML/CTF (AUSTRAC): no "crushing" under thresholds; white lists of banks/details.
Privacy (APP): secure document transfer channels, access to data on request.
Responsible play: personal time/deposit limits, cooling-off/self-exclusion on request.
13) VIP pre-session checklist
Written table limits and payout cap (round/session).
Rule table (S17/La Partage/baccarat commission/odds in craps) confirmed.
Front money/token, cashout methods and bank cut-off are consistent.
Separate limits for sides/jackpots and their reporting.
Host/VIP finance channel 24/7 and escalation matrix.
Bank plan (units, stop loss/stop wine), block duration.
The KYC/SoF/SoW dock package is ready, the white-list of details is configured.
Bottom line: elite board games are a combination of "best" rules, clear limits and managed service. Fix everything in writing (rules, caps, financial conditions), keep bankroll discipline and use hosts for logistics and escalations - then the VIP experience will be predictable in mathematics and without surprises in the service.

3) Blackjack - rule choice = math
Optimal rules for VIP:
- S17 (dealer stands on soft 17) is better than H17.
- BJ payout 3:2 (avoid 6:5).
- DAS (double after split), RSA (return of aces), LS (late surrender) - reduce edge.
- Fewer decks → better for the player (all other things being equal).
- Edge (reference point for basic strategy): ~ 0.3-0.6% with a good set of rules; specified by table card.
- CSM vs hand-deal: CSM ↑temp (↑burn -rate), does not "break" the strategy; manual distribution - comfort/tempo control.
- Sides: Perfect Pairs, 21 + 3 - fine and marginal, not the main betting channel.
- Checklist: S17, 3:2, DAS, RSA, LS, number of decks, cap per box, resolution for several boxes.
