A Deep Dive into Baccarat: The Elegant Casino Game


Baccarat may have a reputation as a high-stakes game for the elite, casino but it's actually one of the easiest casino games to learn. With a very low house edge and minimal decision-making, it's an appealing option for all skill levels.

How to Play Baccarat
The game involves a simple comparison between two hands, the "Player" and the "Banker". Your goal is to correctly predict which of the two hands will get a point total nearer to 9. You can bet on the Player's hand to win, casino the Banker's hand to win, or casino for the hands to Tie.

Scoring the Hands

Cards 2-9: Count as their printed numerical value. 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings (Face Cards): Are worth zero points. Aces: Are worth 1 point.


When the sum of the cards is 10 or more, the first digit is dropped. If you have a 7 and an 8, your total is 5 (from 15). If the Player or Banker is dealt a total of 8 or 9 on the first two cards, it's called a "natural" and the round ends.

Understanding Your Options
After you make your wager, the rest of the game is on autopilot. The dealer handles everything according to strict "tableau" rules. Here’s a breakdown of the three bets and their house edge.

Option House Edge What to Know

The Banker Bet ~1.06% This is statistically the best bet in baccarat. It wins slightly more often than the Player bet. Winning Banker bets are subject to a 5% commission, but it's still the most favorable wager.

Bet on Player Around 1.24% This wager is almost as good as the Banker bet and is a perfectly acceptable choice.

The Tie Bet ~14.36% The high payout of 8:1 or 9:1 is designed to attract players, but the odds are terrible. This is considered a sucker bet.


The clear strategy in baccarat is simple: consistently bet on the Banker. While this may not be the most exciting approach, it gives you the best mathematical chance of winning over the long term. It is this mix of easy rules, great odds, and thrilling gameplay that has made baccarat a casino favorite for generations.
