Baccarat Basics: The Game of Choice for High Rollers

Baccarat is one of the oldest and most prestigious casino games, beloved by players worldwide for its simplicity and low house edge. At LVJILI ACE, we offer both live dealer and RNG baccarat tables, so you can enjoy this classic game in the comfort of your home.

Whether you're a complete novice or an experienced player, this guide will walk you through the rules, betting options, and strategies to help you get started.

Baccarat Rules: How to Play

The goal of baccarat is simple: bet on which hand — Player or Banker — will have a point value closest to 9. You can also bet on a Tie. Here's how it works:

  1. Place your bet on Player, Banker, or Tie before the cards are dealt.
  2. Two cards are dealt to both the Player and Banker hands.
  3. Card values: Aces = 1, 2–9 = face value, 10s and face cards = 0.
  4. If the total is 10 or more, subtract 10 (e.g., 7+6=13 → 3 points).
  5. Third-card rule may apply automatically — the dealer handles it.
  6. The hand closest to 9 wins. Winning bets pay 1:1 (Banker pays 0.95:1 after commission).

Player Bet

Pays 1:1 with a house edge of ~1.24%. No commission.

Banker Bet

Pays 0.95:1 (5% commission) with a house edge of ~1.06%. The best bet.

Tie Bet

Pays 8:1 or 9:1, but has a high house edge of ~14%. Avoid unless you're feeling lucky.

Third-Card Rule

Automatic. The dealer follows strict rules to draw a third card when needed.
