Baccarat Bet Types and Their Payouts
Baccarat has three main wagers: Player, Banker, and Tie. The Player hand pays even money at 1:1 — straightforward and flat. The Banker hand is the statistically stronger bet, which is why a standard 5% commission is deducted, leaving you with an effective 0.95:1 return. The Tie pays 8:1 at most live tables, though some variants offer 9:1. Pair side bets —
wagering that the first two cards dealt to either side form a matching pair — typically pay 11:1. Evolution's live baccarat tables, available in the lobby, publish all these rates inside the game interface so you can verify them before placing a chip.
