How to Play Baccarat

Baccarat

Table minimums, maximums, and payout limits are clearly displayed at each table.

Game Overview
Baccarat is a fast-moving and refined card game where the house deals the cards, and in some versions, players may reveal them. Mini and Midi Baccarat follow the same rules as traditional Baccarat, though card handling may differ based on the table format.

Objective
The goal is to bet on which hand—Player or Banker—will have the highest total. The ideal hand equals 9, while the lowest possible total is 0.

  • Tens and face cards (J, Q, K) are worth 0

  • Aces count as 1

  • All other cards maintain their face value

  • Only the last digit of the total counts (e.g., 14 becomes 4)

Example:
Four cards are dealt: the 1st and 3rd to the Player, and the 2nd and 4th to the Banker. The Dealer announces the totals, and depending on the Third Card Rules, a final card may be drawn for either side.

Betting Options
You can place a wager on:

  • Player’s Hand – Pays 1:1

  • Banker’s Hand – Pays 1:1 (subject to commission or adjusted payout depending on the variation)

  • Tie – Pays 8:1 when both hands are equal in value

Game Variants

  • No Commission Baccarat

    • Banker wins with a 6 pay 1:2 (half the wager)

    • Optional SUPER 6 side bet pays 12:1 if the Banker wins with a total of 6

  • Commission Baccarat

    • Banker wins pay 1:1

    • A 5% commission applies to all Banker winning bets

Side Bets
Any optional side wagers will be clearly noted at each table.

Dragon Bonus®

Dragon Bonus® is a thrilling Baccarat side bet that rewards players for achieving natural wins or victories by a significant point difference. To play, simply place a wager in the Dragon Bonus area on either the Player or Banker hand. Some casinos may require a standard Baccarat bet alongside the side wager.

How to Win

Your Dragon Bonus bet wins if:

  • Your hand is a natural winner (a total of 8 or 9 with the first two cards), or

  • Your non-natural hand wins by four or more points

Payout Structure

Naturals

  • Natural Win: Pays 1 to 1

  • Natural Tie: Push (no win or loss)

Non-Naturals

  • Win by 9 points: Pays 30 to 1

  • Win by 8 points: Pays 10 to 1

  • Win by 7 points: Pays 4 to 1

  • Win by 6 points: Pays 4 to 1

  • Win by 5 points: Pays 2 to 1

  • Win by 4 points: Pays 2 to 1

All other results lose the Dragon Bonus wager.

Optional Pair Bet

You may also place a Pair Bet on the Player hand, Banker hand, or both.

  • Pays 11 to 1 if the first two cards form a pair (e.g., 8/8 or Queen/Queen)

  • A standard Baccarat wager may be required

Third Card Rules

Player’s Hand

  • Total 0–5: Draws a third card

  • Total 6–7: Stands

  • Total 8–9: Natural (no card drawn)

Banker’s Hand

  • 0–2: Always draws (unless Player has a natural 8 or 9)

  • 3: Draws unless Player’s third card is an 8

  • 4: Draws if Player’s third card is 2–7

  • 5: Draws if Player’s third card is 4–7

  • 6: Draws if Player’s third card is 6 or 7

  • 7: Stands

  • 8–9: Natural (no card drawn)

Baccarat, sometimes called Baccara, is a timeless casino card game where two hands—the Player and the Banker—face off. Each round, known as a coup, ends in one of three results: a Player win, a Banker win, or a tie.
