Product description



　　With baccarat side bets explained, we will now dive into the different types. For starters, not all baccarat

　　games offer side bets. Furthermore, side bets that are available at one table may not be available at another.

　　You may actually be familiar with some of these baccarat side bets from playing other casino games.

　　When you are going through these side bets, be sure to consider the third card factor. This is because not all

　　baccarat hands will see a third card. If you place a side bet that requires a third card, then you will

　　automatically lose your ante if a third card doesn’t appear.

　　Let’s start this introduction to side bets by examining some of the easier-to-understand baccarat side bets.

　　Bellagio Match

　　This popular side bet offers a payout of 68:1 and 75:1 depending on whether you bet on the Player or

　　Banker. With such an attractive potential return, it’s a popular side-betting option.

　　width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　You win a Bellagio Match bet when you correctly predict that either the Banker or Player hand will

　　contain three of a kind. If you wager a Bellagio Match on the Player’s hand, the house edge is 5.27%,

　　while wagering on a Bellagio Match for the Banker comes with an 8.57% house edge.

　　Perfect Pair

　　What is a Perfect Pair in baccarat? Perfect Pair is one side bet that many blackjack Players will be

　　familiar with. The idea is to wager on either the Banker or the Player to receive a suited pair for

　　their first two cards. Accomplishing this feat pays 25 to 1.

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　Suited 3-Card 8

　　This type of side bet is pretty self-explanatory. This wager involves staking a bet on the Banker or

　　Player to score an 8 with three suited cards. For example, an A, 2, and 5 of clubs would do the trick

　　and earn you a 25 to 1 payout.

　　alt="Suited 3-card Eight side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　Coincidentally, there is also a Double-Suited 3-Card 8 in which both the Banker and the Player receive

　　3-card 8s. This pays a whopping 200 to 1.

　　Now, let’s check out three of the most popular second-format side bets.

　　Royal Match

　　With a Royal Match side bet, you’re wagering on either the Banker or Player receiving a King and a Queen

　　as their first two cards.

　　alt="Royal Match side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　If those cards are unsuited, the bet pays out 30 to 1. If the King and Queen are suited, you earn a

　　windfall of 75 to 1. This bet comes with a fair house edge of 2.13%.

　　Either Pair

　　You don’t need to worry about suits with an Either Pair side bet. To win this bet, you need either the

　　Player or the Banker to receive any pair in their first two cards.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/either-pair.jpg" alt="Either Pair side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　This earns a payout of 5 to 1, although the house edge is quite high at 13.71%. It’s one way of baccarat

　　betting both sides.

　　First Two Player/Banker Cards Same Suit

　　If you want to know how to bet baccarat both sides, try this bet. If you do, the first two cards of

　　either the Player’s hand or Banker’s hand must be suited.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/first-player-banker-cards-same-suit.jpg"

　　alt=">First Two Player or Banker Cards Same Suit side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　The baccarat side bet odds and payouts change as the number of cards in the

　　shoe decreases. As such, they vary.

　　Like roulette, baccarat offers bets that strictly relate to the color of the cards. Perhaps the two most

　　popular color-based baccarat bets looked up at Baccarat.Wiki are All Red/All Black bets and Color in

　　Majority bets. Let’s break them down.

　　All Red/All Black

　　A standard deck of playing cards has four suits. Clubs and spades are black, while hearts and diamonds

　　are red. When you place an All Red/All Black wager on the Banker or the Player, you need the one you bet

　　on to either receive all black cards or all red cards.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/all-red-all-black.jpg"

　　alt="All Red or All Black side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　Suits don’t matter. They just have to be the same color.

　　Color in Majority

　　A Color in Majority bet is not as common as some other side bets, but it is one of the more interesting

　　ones. It is simply wagering on whether there will be more red cards, more black cards, or an equal

　　number of red and black cards dealt in a round.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/color-in-majority.jpg" alt="Majority Color side bet in baccarat."

　　width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　The interesting aspect of these bets is that a winning bet on More Red Cards pays out 1.5 to 1, while

　　More Black Cards pays slightly higher at 1.53 to 1. Why? Who knows because the probabilities and number

　　of combinations are identical. Meanwhile, a winning bet on Equal Red and Black Cards returns at a rate

　　of 2.87 to 1.

　　Now we will dissect a few bets that are based on the number of cards that are dealt in a round.

　　3-Card Six

　　The 3-Card Six side bet is typically offered in No-Commission Baccarat games. With this wager, you win a

　　100 to 1 payout if both the Banker and the Player score six using three cards each.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/3-card-six.jpg" alt="3-card Six side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　If only one of them does it, you still earn a payout of 8 to 1.

　　4-5-6

　　4-5-6 baccarat side bets offer three betting options. You can wager on 4 cards appearing for a potential

　　return of 1.5 to 1. A successful wager on 5 cards appearing pays 2 to 1, as do bets on 6 cards being

　　played. It doesn’t matter if they are number cards or face cards.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/4-5-6.jpg" alt="456 side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　With 6 Decks:

　　With 8 Decks:

　　Total Points Over/Under 9.5

　　This type of bet is the same as betting on the Over/Under in sports. It’s simple. You can bet that the

　　combined point total of the Player and dealer hands is either more than 9.5 points or less than 9.5.

　　

　　alt="Total Points Over or Under 9.5 side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　If you bet the Under, then you need to have the total come in at 9 or less. If you bet the Over, then you

　　need both hands to combine for 10 or more points.

　　Total Points Odd/Even

　　This one is straightforward. You can bet on the combined hand total to be an odd number, or you can bet

　　on it being an even number.

　　alt="Total Points Odd or Even side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　Like some other baccarat side bets, the odds are adjusted as the number of cards in the shoe decreases.

　　Here is the breakdown of Odd/Even baccarat bets. Take note of the number of combinations and

　　probabilities, as they surprisingly aren’t the same for both bets.

　　Big and Small

　　Betting on Big and Small in baccarat offers two options, which are, well, Big and Small, obviously. A

　　Small comes in when the total number of cards dealt equals four. In other words, a round that doesn’t

　　see either hand take a third card. A Big prevails when the total number of cards dealt in a round is

　　either 5 or 6.

　　alt="Big and Small side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="270" loading="lazy">

　　The payouts will vary depending on which provider’s version you play. A Small generally pays between 1.34

　　to 1 and 1.5 to 1, while Big payouts usually range between 0.48 to 1 and 0.52 to 1.

　　Progressive

　　Some baccarat games offer progressive jackpots on certain side bets. For instance, software developer

　　Playtech offers a baccarat version that has a progressive jackpot that Players can win by scoring 9

　　points using a suited A and 8. Different variants that offer progressive side bets have different

　　requirements. For example, Playtech baccarat offers a 10,000x return on a Player suited Ace and 8 and

　　Banker suited Ace and 8.

　　alt="Progressive side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　Sum Bonus

　　A Sum Bonus bet is based on the number of combined points that are tallied. You can bet that the combined

　　total score of both hands is 5 or less or 14 or more.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/sum-bonus.jpg" alt="Sum Bonus side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　You can also wager on a variety of other card combinations, as described below.

　　Our tutorial has already touched on a few points-based side bets, so let’s dive a little deeper into those.

　　Double 8

　　A Double 8 occurs when both the Player and the Banker score 8 points in their respective hands. A winning

　　Double 8 bet pays 15 to 1.

　　Lucky 8

　　With a Lucky 8 wager, you are betting on either the Banker or the Player to win the hand by exactly 8

　　points. If you win, you’ll receive a payout of 4 to 1. The house edge for a Player Lucky 8 is 13.65% and

　　it’s 16.6% for Banker Lucky 8 bets.

　　Unlucky 8

　　This is the opposite of a Lucky 8 bet. Instead of wagering on one of the hands to beat the other by 8

　　points, you are betting on one of the hands to lose by exactly 8 points.

　　Big Tiger

　　Usually only found in no-commission baccarat games, a Big Tiger side bet is a wager on the Banker to win

　　with a 6-points hand made with three cards.

　　Small Tiger

　　This is very similar to a Big Tiger. The only difference is that the Banker must make his six points

　　using two cards.

　　Kill the Ox/Tiger

　　To win a Kill the Ox or Kill the Tiger bet, you need one of two things to happen. Either the Player hand

　　has a three-card 6 and ties or loses, or the Banker has a three-card 7 and ties or loses. A correct

　　prediction nets you a 30 to 1 return.

　　Ox 6

　　This one is simple. You win an Ox 6 bet when you wager on the Player’s hand to win with a three-card

　　score of 6. This bet offers an attractive payout of 40 to 1.

　　Super 6

　　What is Super 6 baccarat? Super 6 bets are normally exclusive to no-commission baccarat games, and they

　　are side bets in which you need the Banker to score a total of 6 and win.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/super-6.jpg" alt="Super Six side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　This earns a 12 to 1 payout. This is not to be confused with a Lucky 6 baccarat bet which requires the

　　Banker to score a 3-card six.

　　Lucky Bonus

　　Lucky Bonus is used in some baccarat variants to describe the above-mentioned Super 6 sidebet.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/lucky-bonus.jpg" alt="Lucky Bonus side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　The two differences are the 18 to 1 payout and that you can only place a Lucky Bonus bet if you have also

　　bet on the Banker.

　　Dragon 7

　　To win this baccarat side bet, the Banker must win by scoring 7 points using three cards.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/dragon-7.jpg" alt="Dragon Seven side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　This hauls in a 40 to 1 return.

　　Dragon Bonus

　　Winning a baccarat Dragon Bonus side bet requires the Player to win the round by a certain margin with a

　　natural 8 or 9. If the Player has a natural 9 and the Banker hand is worth three points, then that’s a

　　winning margin of 6 points.

　　alt="Dragon Bonus side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　The point differential determines the payout as follows:

　　Matching Dragon

　　A Matching Dragon bet sounds a little complicated, but it isn’t. The idea is to have the combined Banker

　　and Player hands contain matching cards.

　　alt="Matching Dragon side bet in baccarat." width="600" height="340" loading="lazy">

　　For example, the Banker hand is K, 3, 4 while the Player hand is K, 4, 4. We don’t just have three 4s,

　　which is a winner, but we also have two Kings. The payout depends on the number of matching cards.

　　Panda 8

　　Another easy bet that merely requires a wager on the Player to score 9 points using three cards.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/panda-8.jpg" alt="Panda Eight side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy" >

　　A winning Panda 8 bet provides the bettor with a 25 to 1 return.

　　Here, we have a collection of other specialty propositions for baccarat.

　　5 Treasures

　　5 Treasures is actually a group of the five baccarat side bets, which are:

　　Fortune 7: Bet on the Banker hand to win with a 3-card score of 7. This pays 40 to

　　1.

　　Golden 8: This 25 to 1 bet comes through when the Player Hand scores 7 points with

　　3 cards.

　　Blazing 7s: You win this baccarat side wager when the Banker hand and the Player

　　hand both score a 7 using the same number of cards. This one has an enormous return of 200x if both

　　hands have three cards and 50x if both hands are made using two cards.

　　Heavenly 9: This bet wins if the Player hand or the Banker hand scores a 3-card 9.

　　This pays out 10 to 1 if one hand does it and 75 to 1 if both do.

　　Cover All: A Cover All bet wins and pays out 6 to 1 when any of the above-mentioned

　　5 Treasures bets win.

　　Lucky 6

　　The Lucky 6 side bet in commission-free baccarat pays 12 to 1 on a 2-card Banker total of six and 23 to 1

　　on a 3-card Banker total of six.

　　Lucky 99

　　There are three ways to win a Lucky 99 baccarat side wager. The first way is having the Player hand score

　　a natural 9. This pays out 2 to 1. If the Banker scores a natural 9, then the wager pays out 5 to 1.

　　Both sides hitting natural nines would result in a payout of 25 to 1.

　　Duo Bao

　　Duo Bao is a baccarat side bet that is popular in many Asian countries. With this bet, you essentially

　　use the two hands to make poker hands like three-of-a-kind, straights, and flushes. While you won’t win

　　with one or even two pairs, nine other hands can net you a nice windfall.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/duo-bao.jpg" alt="Duo Bao side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　By the way, it does not matter how many cards are dealt. You just have to make one of the following hands

　　using an 8-card deck:

　　Rabbit Play

　　Rabbit Play is two side bets. A Rabbit Play bet on the Player comes with an 8.07% house edge, while

　　Rabbit Play bets on the Banker have a 9.31% edge.

　　src="/build/images/side-bets/rabbit-play.jpg" alt="Rabbit Play side bet in baccarat." width="600"

　　height="340" loading="lazy">

　　The idea is for your preferred hand to have trips and pairs in them. Payouts are as follows:

　　Let’s look at a few of the most popular baccarat side bets that are related to ties and specific outcomes.

　　Quik

　　A Quik bet is determined by the combined point total of the Player and Banker hands. So, if the Player

　　hand has 5 points and the Banker’s has 7, then that’s a total of 12 points. Let’s look at the payouts.

　　Egalite Bets

　　Egalite Bets are popular in the UK, and they are specific to ties. For instance, you can bet on the hand

　　to end in a 7-7 tie. If you win, that’s a 45 to 1 payout. If you correctly predict a 1-1 draw, then that

　　pays 215 to 1. Here are all of the possibilities.

　　Tie Bonus

　　This baccarat side bet is only available in a few games, and it also relates to ties. Payouts depend on

　　the number of cards dealt and how many points each hand ties with. However, the cool thing is that you

　　win even if you miss by 1.

　　Egalite Extra Bonus

　　These bets allow punters to wager on specific ties. Some of the payouts are a bit different than those

　　offered in Egalite bets, but if the round does not end in a draw, then you lose your stake.

　　This section describes baccarat side wagers that are tied to winning sides and outcomes.

　　3 Card Wins

　　Simply wager on either the Dealer or the Player hand to win with 3 cards. If you bet correctly on the

　　Player hand, the return is 4 to 1, while winning Banker hands pay 5 to 1.

　　3 Giving 8

　　This side bet is offered in some casinos and it pays at a rate of 200 to 1 when the Banker’s 2-card

　　starting hand has a value of 3 and the Player’s hand draws a third card for a hand total of 8.

　　Winning side and Total

　　These are essentially parlay bets in which you must correctly predict which side has the winning hand and

　　what that hand was worth. Here is a breakdown.
