Key questions and answers
Use the sections below to find the relevant answer without reading unrelated tournament pages.
What is a Perfect Pair?
A Perfect Pair commonly requires the first two cards to match in both rank and suit. Because the condition is more specific, the displayed payout may be higher.
Why do side-bet payouts look larger?
A larger payout normally reflects a less frequent event. It does not reduce variance or make the wager safer than the main Banker or Player bet.
What should I compare between tables?
Check the qualifying cards, payout, commission, void conditions and whether multiple side bets can settle on the same round.
