Abstract

A system, method and apparatus to collect data from a casino table game of baccarat for wagering pattern analysis. The data includes at least player identification (e.g., player position and/or individual player complete identification), game event history (e.g., Dealer and Player hand statistics and wins on each hand; and hand values; and first card dealt values), and wagering history associated with the identified player (e.g., how much was wagered on each hand). The data is at least temporarily stored and an analysis of the betting patterns is made based on whether the patterns may indicate wagering variance based upon apparent knowledge or correlating to coincidence of valued first cards dealt from the baccarat shoe.
