Description
No Commission Baccarat removes the usual 5% commission from winning Banker bets. Instead, Banker normally pays even money, with one important exception: a Banker win totalling exactly 6 pays half the usual profit.## How to Play
No Commission Baccarat has no decisions during a hand. Once bets are placed, every card dealt and any third-card draw are controlled automatically by fixed rules.
You can bet on one of three outcomes:
* **Player:** The Player hand finishes with the higher total.
* **Banker:** The Banker hand finishes with the higher total.
* **Tie:** Both hands finish with the same total.
Player and Banker are simply the names of the two hands. Both begin with two cards dealt from an eight-deck shoe, which is reshuffled at roughly 90% penetration.
Card values are straightforward. Aces count as 1, cards from 2 to 9 count at face value, and tens, jacks, queens and kings count as zero. Only the last digit of the total matters. For example, a 7 and an 8 add up to 15, so the hand value is 5.
A two-card total of 8 or 9 is called a **natural**. If either hand has a natural, the round ends immediately and neither hand receives a third card. Otherwise, any third cards are dealt according to a fixed table, entirely automatically.
The payouts are:
* **Player:** 1 to 1
* **Banker:** 1 to 1, except a Banker win with exactly 6 pays 1 to 2
* **Tie:** 8 to 1
* **Player Pair:** 11 to 1 if the Player hand’s first two cards form a pair
* **Banker Pair:** 11 to 1 if the Banker hand’s first two cards form a pair
* **Super 6:** 12 to 1 when Banker wins with a total of exactly 6
When the result is a Tie, Player and Banker bets push, meaning those stakes are returned.
The table accepts bets from **$5 to $2,000**. You can play this free online Super 6 Baccarat game with no download required.
## Tips to Get Started
* **No commission does not mean better odds.** The reduced payout on a Banker-6 win replaces the commission charged at standard Baccarat tables.
* **Treat Super 6 as a long shot.** Its 12-to-1 payout is appealing, but its higher house edge makes it better suited to occasional fun than a core betting approach.
* **Be cautious with Tie bets.** The 8-to-1 payout looks attractive, but Tie carries a much higher house edge than either main bet.
* **Learn the Banker-6 rule first.** It is the defining feature of No Commission Baccarat and the key difference from a regular commission table.
Instructions
## Strategy Tips* **“No commission” does not mean better value.** The Banker bet has a 1.46% house edge here, compared with about 1.06% at a standard commission table. The Banker-6 half-pay rule costs more on average than the usual 5% commission.
* **Player is actually the strongest main bet in this version.** Its 1.24% house edge is slightly lower than Banker’s 1.46%, making Player the better mathematical choice under these specific Super 6 rules.
* **Avoid treating Tie as a regular bet.** Despite its tempting 8-to-1 payout, Tie has a 14.36% house edge, more than ten times the edge on the Player bet.
* **Pair bets are expensive extras.** Player Pair and Banker Pair each carry a house edge of roughly 10.4%. They can add excitement, but consistently using them will increase your expected losses considerably.
* **Keep Super 6 as an occasional flutter.** Its 12-to-1 payout may look attractive, but the house edge is roughly 30%, making it one of the poorest-value bets in the game.
There are no decisions to make once the cards are dealt, and no betting system changes the underlying odds. The only meaningful strategy is choosing lower-edge bets and controlling how much you stake.
FAQ's
What is No Commission Baccarat?
It is a Baccarat variant where winning Banker bets normally pay even money without a 5% commission. The exception is a Banker win with a total of exactly 6, which pays 1 to 2. You can bet on Player, Banker or Tie, which are betting positions naming the two hands rather than roles you control.
What happens when the Banker wins with a total of 6?
A winning Banker bet pays only 1 to 2 when the Banker’s final total is exactly 6. For example, the profit is half the amount normally paid at even money. The separate Super 6 side bet pays 12 to 1 when the Banker wins with exactly 6.
Is No Commission Baccarat better value than standard Baccarat?
No, removing the commission does not improve the overall value of the Banker bet. The reduced 1-to-2 payout on a Banker win with exactly 6 costs more on average than the standard 5% commission it replaces. The Banker house edge here is 1.46%, compared with roughly 1.06% at a standard commission table.
Which bet has the best odds in this version?
Player has the best odds among the main bets in this version, with a house edge of 1.24%. Banker has a 1.46% house edge because of the half payout when it wins with exactly 6. Tie is much less favourable at 14.36%, despite its higher 8-to-1 payout.
What is the Super 6 side bet?
Super 6 is a side bet that wins when the Banker finishes with exactly 6 and wins the hand. It pays 12 to 1, but its house edge is roughly 30%. This is separate from the ordinary Banker bet, which pays 1 to 2 when the Banker wins with that total.
Are there any decisions to make once the cards are dealt?
No, every third-card decision is automatic. You choose your wager before the cards are dealt, selecting Player, Banker, Tie or any available side bet. The fixed rules then determine whether either hand receives another card, including after checking whether either two-card hand has a natural total of 8 or 9.
