Even Money Baccarat is a popular variation of the classic casino game. The main difference lies in the payout for winning Banker bets. In traditional baccarat, Banker bets usually pay 0.95 to 1 due to a 5% commission. In Even Money Baccarat, if you bet on the Banker and win, you are paid even money (1 to 1), but a special rule applies if the Banker wins with a total of 6.
If the Banker wins with a total of 6, the Even Money rule is activated. Your Banker bet is not an immediate win or loss. Instead, it is treated as a \“push\“ or a \“tie,\“ and your original bet is returned to you. This rule replaces the standard commission structure, making the game simpler for some players to understand.
The rules for the Player bet remain unchanged. A winning Player bet always pays even money (1 to 1). The rules for drawing a third card for the Player and Banker hands are the same as in standard baccarat. The goal is still to bet on which hand, Player or Banker, will have a total closest to 9. |
