the salon · shared shoe

Le Banque.One shoe. One clock. One hand.

Classic punto banco, dealt by the house on a 17-second clock. You do not deal and you do not squeeze — you put chips on a spot before the cards turn, and so does everyone else in the room, on the very same hand. Player pays back 98.77%, Banker 98.55%.

Ƶ is fictional play money — no real cash, no cash-out, ever. 18+.

The felt, with the clock running.

Every spot is priced on the table itself — no hunting through a rules page mid-round. The roads on the bottom rail keep the shoe’s history: bead plate on the left, big road on the right.

How to play

A round in three beats.

1

Bets open

Seventeen seconds. Chip up Player, Banker or Égalité, and any side bets you fancy. You cannot hold Player and Banker at once — they are the same hand from both ends.

2

The house deals

Two cards each, then a third by the standard tableau if the totals call for it. One hand for the entire room. Nobody at the table can touch it, including us.

3

Closest to nine

Totals run modulo ten, so an 8 and a 5 is a 3. Winners are paid, the roads update, and a few seconds later the next window opens.

Why a room and not a table

Everyone rides the same hand.

The Salon is the door for people who do not want to run a table. Sit down, back a spot, and the room does the rest.

🃏 one shoe

Not a race against the table

Every player backs the same deal against the house. Your neighbour landing a 30:1 Dragon costs you nothing — there is no pot to split and no seat to lose.

⏱ 17-second window

No squeeze, no skill

The house deals on a clock. If you want the slow drag-to-peel squeeze and the optional ⚡strike mode, that is the solo table.

🎙 table chat + camera

You can actually be there

Talk to the table, or go on camera and be seen at it. A shared hand is only worth it if you can react to it together.

📊 les routes

The shoe remembers

Bead plate and big road track every result of the shoe, the way a real salon does. They predict nothing — each hand is independent — but reading them is half the ritual.

Every spot, priced

What the eight spots pay — and what they return.

Return figures are this engine’s measured RTP, taken straight from the same constants the game settles with. The Salon runs classic: no ante is charged and no multipliers apply.

SpotPaysReturnsWhat it is
PLAYER1:198.77%The straight bet on the Player hand. The best main number on the felt.
BANKER1:1 · six ½98.55%Pays even money — except a Banker win with a total of 6, which pays half. That half is the house edge; there is no 5% commission to subtract afterwards.
ÉGALITÉ9:195.16%Égalité. Pays 9:1 and PUSHES the main bets, so a tie hands Player and Banker stakes back rather than eating them.
P PAIR11:192.31%The Player’s first two cards are the same rank.
B PAIR11:192.31%The Banker’s first two cards are the same rank.
PERFECT25:199.09%Same rank AND same suit, either hand. On an infinite deck that lands far more often than in a real shoe, which is why 25:1 is only just house-positive.
DRAGONto 30:195.74%A Player win-by-margin ladder, climbing to 30:1 for a big blowout.
LUCKY 615:186.36%A Banker win with exactly 6. The most expensive bet on this felt — fun, but it costs you.

If you only remember one thing: Player and Banker are the two best bets on the felt, and Lucky 6 is the most expensive. We would rather print that than hide it.

A shared table has to answer a question a solo table does not: how do you know the hand was not chosen after seeing where the money went?

Each round’s server seed is fixed the moment the round is created, and we publish its hash while betting is still open. The seed itself is revealed the instant the cards are dealt — so every person in the room can recompute the identical cards from the same committed stream. Cards come off an infinite deck (each draw independent, no shoe to count), and the engine is bac-1 on RTP set bac-rtp-2, sim-locked by an independent re-implementation over millions of rounds with a hard “RTP under 100% on every spot” assertion.

FAQ

Straight answers

How is the Live Salon different from the solo Le Banque table?

Same engine and the same card maths — a different room. In the Salon the system deals one hand for everybody on a 17-second clock, so you just back a spot and watch. The solo table lets you play at your own pace with the drag-to-peel squeeze, and it is where the optional ⚡Beast Strike mode lives. The Salon has no strike and no ante: it is plain punto banco.

What is the RTP of the Live Salon?

Player pays back 98.77% and Banker 98.55% — the two best bets on the table. Égalité returns 95.16%, pairs 92.31%. Of the side bets, Perfect Pair is unusually generous at 99.09% and Lucky 6 is the worst at 86.36%. Every figure is measured by our own sim, not copied off a rule sheet.

Can I back Player and Banker at the same time?

No — the table refuses it. They are opposite sides of one hand, so covering both would just churn your stake through the house edge. Side bets can ride alongside either.

Does everyone at the table get the same cards?

Yes. One shoe, one hand, one result for the whole room. Your neighbour winning does not cost you anything — you are all backing the same deal against the house, not against each other.

How do I know the hand was not rigged once bets were in?

The round is committed before betting closes. We publish a hash of the round’s server seed while the clock is still running, and reveal the seed the instant the cards are dealt — so anyone in the room can recompute the exact same cards afterwards. The commit happens before your chips land; the reveal happens to everybody at once.
