Table guide
Baccarat
Punto banco gives you three bets: banker, player and tie. The cards follow fixed rules, so you only choose the bet and the stake.
Standard prices on an eight-deck shoe
With 5% commission on winning banker bets. These are the game's maths, the same at every casino.
No-commission tables usually pay less than even money on some banker wins, often a banker six. Read that rule first.
House edge by bet
- Banker (5% commission)1.06%
- Player1.24%
- Tie14.40%
Where to play baccarat
White Lotus and Apollo Slots both list a Baccarat table in the table-games group of the lobby. Check the commission rule when the game opens.
Springbok has a baccarat section. Baccarat isn't on its bonus contribution list, so play it with cash rather than an active coupon.
Silversands doesn't advertise baccarat by name. Use the baccarat filter to see the casinos that do, and read the rand banking page before you fund an account.
A stake you can defend
- Banker with the 5% commission is the tight standard bet. Tie is the expensive one.
- A scoreboard streak doesn't change the next coup.
- If a coupon is active, confirm baccarat is allowed before the first hand. Three of the four casinos leave it out.
Baccarat questions
Does baccarat clear a signup offer?
Apollo Slots and Silversands exclude baccarat from the signup offer. Springbok's contribution list does not include it.
White Lotus does not give baccarat a rate. A lobby title is not a contribution rate.

Gambling should cost what a night out costs, not what rent costs. If it stops being fun, get free, confidential help.
- Decide what you can afford to lose, and treat it as spent before you deposit.
- Never chase a loss with a bigger coupon. Wagering is a condition, not a route to a withdrawal.
- Time, mood and secrecy are warning signs too. Read our responsible gambling guide.
