How the Baccarat Payout Table Actually Works
Baccarat is a comparison card game where two hands — Player and Banker — are dealt and scored. The hand closest to nine wins. Each hand draws two cards to start, and a fixed third-card rule determines whether a third card is drawn — neither you nor the dealer makes that call. The payout table reflects this structure: a Player win returns
your stake at even money, a Banker win returns slightly less because a five percent commission is taken, and a Tie win returns eight times your stake. Pair bets sit outside the main game as optional side wagers. Knowing these figures before you bet is what separates disciplined play from guesswork.
