Baccarat Circle Tables Built for Mobile

A banker bet wins if the banker hand totals closer to nine than the player hand. It pays one-to-one minus a five percent commission because the banker has a slight statistical edge over the player.

A tie bet wins when both the banker and player hands finish with the same point total. It typically pays eight-to-one, though some tables offer nine-to-one, because ties occur less than ten percent of the time.

A natural is an eight or nine dealt with the first two cards. When either hand shows a natural, no third card is drawn and the round ends immediately, with the natural hand winning unless both sides have one.

Side bets are optional wagers on outcomes like banker pair, player pair, or perfect pair—where the first two cards of a hand match in rank or suit. They pay higher multiples but hit less often than main bets.

Commission is the five percent fee the house takes from winning banker bets to offset the banker's mathematical advantage. Some no-commission tables skip the fee but pay half on a banker win of six instead.

The shoe is the dealing box that holds six or eight decks shuffled together. The dealer draws cards from the shoe for each round until a cut card appears, signaling the end of that shoe and prompting a fresh shuffle.
