Power Baccarat 98 is another baccarat variant found at the Marina Bay Sands casino in Singapore. The gist is that after bets are made, and before cards are dealt, a die is rolled. If it lands on a 3 then certain wins are increased.
I just finished a new page on the game. As my loyal guinea pigs, please check it out (click on the link above) and let me know what you think before I announce it on my Odds site.

You have delivered the same high quality standard as usual :-).
Only the "before the die is shaken" part confused me at first, but I realized that you are referring to the bet you make. But maybe it's just me, English is not my native language.

Wizz, will this type of game ever show up in Vegas (or anywhere in US)? If not, why not?

The numbers match mine. The only thing I would add is it is a 6-sided die.

I'm coming out with a variation that involves
two small live turtles. I don't think there are
enough casino games that involve live animals.

Thanks for the comments. For whatever reason, games that make it outside of North America still have a hard time breaking into the U.S. market.
Regarding betting on live animals, outside of live racing, I've seen casinos do a promotion where you won a fair bit of money if you could beat a chicken in tic-tac-toe.

Under number (2), the 'tie' bet is not capitalized.
After the pay table, the following sentence "Power hand wins for Player and Banker bets only eligible on natural 8 and 9 wins." sounds awkward. I think the word "are" should be placed before "only". Although, something along the lines of "Only a natural 8 or 9 is a power hand win for Player and Banker bets." might sound clearer.

Thanks for those corrections.

The only thing I noticed is that the game is inconsistently referred to as "Power Baccarat 98" in the title, and "Baccarat 98" in the opening paragraph.

Didn't catch anything. Looks like an interesting game and a logistical nightmare for dealers in comparison to the simplicity of dealing traditional Baccarat.

So has this game replaced https://wizardofvegas.com/forum/gambling/other-games/3490-power-baccarat or is it an addition?
