Introduction
Marina Bay Sands Responsible Gambling Policy Act
At some baccarat tables, the player may make mid-state proposition bets, generally with the purpose of insuring a winning hand. I discuss such bets in general in my page on baccarat insurance. To avoid that page getting too long, this page focuses on those insurance bets at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
As usual, when writing about baccarat, to avoid confusion, I use lower case when referring to players playing the game and upper case when referring to bets.
