Baccarat
Baccarat at Citobet
Two hands, player and banker, and one question: which one gets closer to nine. You do not play a hand in baccarat, you bet on one, which is why it is the simplest table game to learn and the hardest to play badly.
What we have
Close to 150 baccarat games, most of them live tables from Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech, CREEDROOMZ and Ezugi, including Speed Baccarat, No Commission and Lightning Baccarat.
Three bets, three different costs
- Banker, the lowest house edge in the game at about 1.06%, with a commission usually taken on the win.
- Player, slightly worse at about 1.24%.
- Tie, far worse, often above 14%, despite the large payout.
Bet the banker and the maths is as good as anything in the casino. Bet the tie regularly and it is one of the most expensive bets on the floor. The house edge guide puts those numbers next to blackjack and roulette.
Across the baccarat games here that publish a figure, the median return to player is close to 99%, which is the banker bet showing through.
The patterns on the screen
Every baccarat table shows a road map of previous results, and players use it to decide what comes next. Each hand is dealt from a shoe that does not remember the last one. The road map is a record, not a forecast.
Bonuses at the table
Table games contribute 100% toward a wagering requirement, unless a promotion limits the bonus to specific games (term 1.22 of the Bonus Terms and Conditions). Betting player and banker together with bonus money is hedging, which term 1.5 prohibits.
The number to trust is the one in the game
Commission, payouts and limits differ between tables and are stated at each one.
Play responsibly
Baccarat is fast and the decisions are small, which makes a long session easy. Set the limit before you sit, on the responsible gambling page.
