What is your big 6 strategy?

[Sarahdaktyl]

Big 6 isn't my favorite game, but I'm trying to reach level 40 on everything. I know big 6 has a huge house advantage, so this might be one of the most difficult.

What is the optimal strategy? I have considered 1) bet all on 1 or 2) put a little money on everything. For option 2 what breakout would you recommend? Thanks!

I guess as the house I shouldn't really be chiming in here :) but going by this:

I would suggest always betting on 1.

I always bet the maximum (400) on 1, 2, 5, 10, 20!

If I were to attempt to tier this I would play 1100 on "1" and 900 on "2" and repeat bet. not at all sure this is as good as just playing "1" but it has been fair to me in the past.

Wow, awesome link, David! Thanks for sharing this.

I have calculated to get tier 40 you will need at least 2 million chips in reserve that you can afford to lose given the house edge and how long it takes to reach tier 40.

This is unrelated, but I think it would be awesome if you could extend the rewards for baccarat to female avatars as well. My character has a magician theme going on and I really wanted the top hat and cane. I just realized those are only for the men! No fair:(

Also, I suggest working in an eye patch at some point. Ahoy.

I do not recall how I aquired them but I do have a cane and a top hat and me and my cartoon are a girl so its possible to get this now.

SarahMarshall, I did the same calculation last year and came up with exactly that answer. If you can do that, you probably don't need our help.

But, cheapest way is bet on 1 (and say goodbye to 2 million + or - SV), fastest way is 2/3 on 1, 1/3 on 2 or about that.

There's a Bacarrat reward outfit for female avatars. It's been so long since I got it that I can't remember which one it is, but I at least have or had one.

Hit me up sometime when I'm around - username FutureCrayon - I'll get female and see if I can find what I have that you don't.

It's an outfit - I remember that much.

[edit] I believe it's called "Distinguished Outfit". And now I remember the devs had to manually stick it in my account, since I got Baccarat 40 before they had finished it. Back when it was 9.5 RP per 10k hand. War tier 40 on the ground floor doesn't even come close.

Anyways, you might have to just ask the devs for it if you don't already have it.

Hi Sarah,, The baccaratt outfit is based on Derby Day, thats why you get an elegant dress for girls, and a distinguished outfit for guys,, however, you can still get a silver top hat if you push 10 times in one sitting in blackjack,,, and win a cane by going to war 10 times in one sitting in war ,, or ,, have the Big 6 wheel land on joker also wins a cane..Hope this helps you.

Very pleased that today I reached 40 in baccarat. After this feat, I upgraded to nobility 1. Next games to tackle I think will be war and blackjack. Any tips for war? What sort of bankroll will I need? Plastic, what did you mean by war on the ground floor doesn't even come close?

Thanks all for the helpful advice!

Unlike Blackjack, War takes no amount of skill...it's all the luck of the draw just like baccarat. The house advantage in war is roughly 2% if you "go to war" on ties, and a little higher house edge if you choose to surrender. Never bet on the Tie, it's a 15% house edge. The casino pays 10 to 1 on a tie, but the odds of hitting that bet are 13 to 1. Good luck
