Baccarat - A Most Profitable and Easy Casino Game

By Gregory Brooks


Baccarat, the Italian word from "zero", is arguably the best card game thanks to having one of the finest odds in the casino.

Games with moderate house edges may take you a while to start seeing some profit come out.

In high stake Baccarat, players deal the cards from a shoe, in turns. In mini Baccarat on the other hand, the dealer deals the cards, permitting more hands per hour. Typically, it's the dealer who plays the game, while players only bet. Since the dealer turns the cards, mini Baccarat is a quicker game than Baccarat, though they both have the same odds. Cards are dealt to two sides; the Banker and the Player and the side that scores closest to nine wins the game. Since all the players do is bet, they just choose which side is going to win, without physically playing the game.

There are only three kinds of bets a player can make - on the Banker, on the Player, or bet on a tie between the two. Based on the house edge for each bet, you should always bet on the Banker.

For every bet on the Banker, there is a commission involved, which is conjectured to be 5% here. The house edge is subtracted from the total amount won over the long term to arrive at the final payback percentage.
