There are three betting
options in Baccarat.
You can bet any amount from the table minimum to the
table maximum.
Betting on
the Player Hand
By placing your gaming chips in the "Player"area in
front of you, you are betting on the player hand.
You win the bet, if the player hand at the end of the
round (after all drawing and dealing are done), will be greater than the
dealer's. In this case, you are paid even money and charged no commission.
The house edge for this bet is 1.29%.
Betting on the Bank Hand
By placing your gaming chips in the "Banker"area in
front of you, you are betting on the Banker hand.
You win the bet, if the banker hand at the end of the
round will be greater than the player's. In this case, you are paid even money
and charged the standard 5% commission fee on the amount that you won.
In order not to slow down the game, the dealer does
not collect the "vigorish" after each round. He pays even money to winning
banker bets and keeps records of the commission every player owes. After the
finish of a shoe, or when a player wants to leave before the end of a shoe, the
dealer will collect the accumulated commission.
When you bet on the "Banker's" hand, the
casino has advantage of 1.01%. It is one
of the lowest house advantages in the casino
.
Betting on a Tie Hand
If you want to bet on the Tie hand, you will place
your gaming chips in the "Tie" area or on the number corresponding to your seat.
A bet on a Tie pays 8 to 1 without any commission fee.
If there is a tie, bets on the "Banker or "Player" are
returned, but you can leave them on the betting area for the next round or
increase/decrease your bet.
Tie Bet is the worst bet in
baccarat since this bet has a house
advantage of 15.75%. |
