How to Play Baccarat
Understanding Baccarat Basics
Baccarat is one of the easiest casino card games to learn. The objective is simple: bet on which hand will have a higher total value - the Player hand, the Banker hand, or a Tie. Each hand receives two to three cards, and the hand closest to 9 wins.
Card Values
Aces = 1 point
2-9 = Face value
10, J, Q, K = 0 points
Betting Options
Player - 1:1 payout, 1.24% house edge
Banker - 1:1 payout minus 5% commission, 1.06% house edge
Tie - 8:1 or 9:1 payout, 14%+ house edge
Step-by-Step Gameplay
Step 1: Place your bet on Player, Banker, or Tie before cards are dealt.
Step 2: The dealer deals two cards to the Player hand and two cards to the Banker hand.
Step 3: If either hand has 8 or 9 (natural), no more cards are drawn.
Step 4: If Player has 6 or 7, they stand. If 5 or less, they receive a third card.
Step 5: Banker may draw a third card depending on Player's third card and Banker's current total.
Step 6: The hand closest to 9 wins. Banker bets pay 0.95:1 (5% commission), Player bets pay 1:1.
Baccarat Strategy & Tips
Smart Betting Strategies
While Baccarat is primarily a game of chance, understanding the odds and implementing smart betting strategies can significantly improve your experience and potentially increase your winnings over time.
Bet Banker Most Often
With the lowest house edge at 1.06%, Banker bets offer the best odds in Baccarat. Despite the 5% commission on winning Banker bets, this remains the mathematically optimal choice for serious players.
Avoid Tie Bets
While Tie bets offer attractive 8:1 or 9:1 payouts, the house edge exceeds 14%. This makes Tie bets one of the least favorable wagers in any casino game. Save these for occasional speculative plays.
Manage Your Bankroll
Set clear session limits before playing. A common strategy is to divide your bankroll into 50-unit sessions and stop when you either double your money or lose 20% of your total bankroll.
Track the Shoe
Many Baccarat players track patterns using scorecards. While each hand is statistically independent, identifying short-term trends can help you make more informed betting decisions.
Pro Tips for Philippine Players
Play during off-peak hours for a more relaxed experience with shorter wait times between hands. Take advantage of Fair Play bonuses to extend your gameplay and increase your betting power. VIP members often receive exclusive Baccarat table access with higher limits and personalized dealer options.
RTP & Winning Potential
Industry-Leading Return Rates
Baccarat offers some of the best odds in the casino world. Understanding the Return to Player (RTP) percentages helps you make smarter betting decisions and maximizes your winning potential.
These RTP percentages are verified by independent testing laboratories and represent the long-term expected return to players. Short-term results will vary, but betting on Banker consistently gives you the best mathematical advantage in Baccarat.
