List of Baccarat Games at Cafe

As you may already know, there are several different ways to play baccarat. The game variations we have at Cafe Casino are punto banco games, which we’ll explain in more detail shortly. Punto banco is the easiest and most fun way to play baccarat online; we have several variants for you to enjoy, each with something different to offer.

Classic Baccarat

If you’re looking for the same kind of baccarat gambling experience as James Bond, Classic Baccarat at Cafe is the game for you.

Baccarat Bet Types

The thing that makes the punto banco style of baccarat so easy to play is that you only have two decisions to make for every hand: Which bet to place, and how much. Everything else is taken care of for you at Cafe Casino. Let’s start by looking at the three different bets you can make in baccarat.

Player

This is the most popular bet to make in online baccarat. In this game, cards are dealt into two piles, one representing the Player and one representing the Banker (which is the house in this case). You can bet on either side, but many players choose to bet on their “own” cards. The object of the game is to get as close to nine points as possible; if the Player bet wins, you get paid out at even money.

Banker

The Banker bet takes a little bit more savvy to understand, but it’s definitely worth the effort. With this bet, the payout is even money minus a 5% commission, rounded up to the closest 25 cents; for example, if you make a winning $8 Banker bet, the 40-cent commission gets rounded up to 50 cents, and you receive $7.50 in profit. It’s not as good as getting even money, but the Banker bet makes up for it by winning slightly more often than the Player bet.

Tie

The third bet you can make in baccarat is on the Tie, which pays out when the Player and Banker finish with exactly the same number of points. The payout for the Tie is the largest there is in this game at a generous 9-to-1. Most brick-and-mortar casinos only pay 8-to-1 for the Tie.

Which of these three bets to make is entirely up to you, but if you want to lower the house edge as much as possible, the Banker bet should be your choice. Because our baccarat games at Cafe Casino use a six-deck shoe, shuffled automatically after every hand, the Banker bet has a house edge of 1.06%, which means you can expect a return of 98.94% on your bets in the long run – better than just about any game you’ll find at the casino.

The house edge for the Player bet is also quite low at 1.24%, so you’re not missing out on much if you prefer to avoid the Banker bet. Because the Tie offers the highest payout in baccarat, it also carries the highest house edge at 4.93%, but again, this is a lot better than the 14.4% you’ll find at casinos that only pay out at 8-to-1. Try sprinkling in some Tie bets with your Player/Banker bets if you want to strike the right balance of fun and betting value.

Now let’s move on to your second decision: How much to bet when you play with real money. Every hand of baccarat at Cafe Casino starts when you place your bet by selecting the appropriate amount of chips on your display; the minimum bet is $1, and the maximum bet is $500. You can choose any size between those limits that you like, as long as you have enough money in your Cafe Casino account.

Since punto banco baccarat is a pure game of chance, we highly recommend using some basic bankroll management to get the most entertainment value out of your sessions. Choose a bet size that will allow you to play a certain number of hands or length of time, depending on which of the three bets you’re making, then stick with that sizing – don’t chase losses (or wins) by betting more. And if you really want to take your baccarat game to another level, you can learn more by consulting the in-game descriptions and rules, as well as our FAQ and Help guides and other informative articles here at our online casino. Promotions are another great option for boosting your bankroll, and on our Promotions page, you’ll see a welcome bonus, referrals program and more. Have fun at Cafe!
