Get to Know Baccarat Before You Sit Down
So What Exactly Is Baccarat?
Baccarat is a straightforward card game — no complex decisions to make, no strategies to memorise. The objective is simple: predict which hand (Player or Banker) will come closest to 9, or whether the round will end in a Tie.
10, J, Q, and K cards count as 0. Aces count as 1. Cards 2 through 9 are counted at face value. If the total exceeds 9, only the last digit counts — for example, 7 + 8 = 15, so the hand value is 5.
Three Basic Bet Types
In baccarat, you choose one of three bet types per round. A Player pays 1:1 if the Player hand wins. A Banker also pays close to 1:1 but typically carries a 5% commission — making it the most popular choice due to its statistically higher win rate.
Bet Tie pays 8:1 or 9:1 depending on the table, though a Tie outcome is statistically uncommon, making it a high-risk option better suited for players looking for extra excitement.

Payout Odds Table and Third Card Drawing Rules
Understanding the payout odds helps you plan your bets more effectively. Here's a simple example: if you bet RM 50 on Banker and the Banker wins, you receive your RM 50 back plus RM 47.50 in winnings (after 5% commission), giving you a total return of RM 97.50.
| Bet Types | Payout Odds | House Edge (Estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| Banker | 1:1 (minus 5% commission) | Approximately 1.06% |
| Player | 1:1 | Approximately 1.24% |
| Tie | 8:1 or 9:1 | Approximately 14.4% |
| Player Pair | 11:1 | Approximately 10.4% |
When Is a Third Card Drawn?
The third-card drawing rules (tableau) run automatically and require no decision from the player. If either the Player or Banker hand totals 8 or 9 from the first two cards — known as a "natural" — no additional cards are drawn and the round ends immediately.
If the Player's total is between 0 and 5, a third card is drawn. The Banker then follows a more complex set of drawing rules based on the Player's third card value. All of this happens automatically on the 82major platform — just place your bet and watch the outcome unfold.
