Description
Instructions
Player and Banker are the names of two hands dealt by the table, not seats you control. You bet on which hand will finish closer to 9, or on a Tie.
Aces count as 1, tens and picture cards count as 0, and other cards count their printed value. Only the last digit of a hand’s total matters.
A two-card total of 8 or 9 is a natural. When either hand has a natural, neither hand draws another card.
Player draws on 0 to 5 and stands on 6 or 7. Banker then follows the standard third-card table. All draws happen automatically.
A winning Player bet pays 1:1. A winning Banker bet also pays 1:1 with no commission, except when Banker wins with a final total of 6. In that case, it pays 1:2, so a $10 bet wins $5.
Tie pays 8:1. If the hands tie, Player and Banker bets are returned.
Player Pair and Banker Pair each pay 11:1 if the named hand’s first two cards have the same rank. Super 6 pays 12:1 when Banker wins with a final total of 6.
You must stake at least $5 in total on Player, Banker or Tie. The combined total of all bets cannot exceed $2,000. Side bets require a bet on Player, Banker or Tie.
Strategy and Tips
Do not assume no commission means better value
The Banker bet has a 1.46% house edge in this version, compared with about 1.06% at a standard commission table. Paying only half on a winning Banker 6 costs more on average than the usual 5% commission.
Consider the Player bet
Player has a 1.24% house edge here, slightly lower than Banker’s 1.46%. Under these Super 6 rules, Player is the better-value main bet.
Treat Tie as an occasional bet
Tie pays 8:1 but has a 14.36% house edge. Its higher payout comes with much poorer odds than either main bet.
Be cautious with Pair bets
Player Pair and Banker Pair each have a house edge of roughly 10.4%. Regularly adding them increases your expected losses.
Keep Super 6 as an occasional flutter
Super 6 pays 12:1 but has a house edge of roughly 30%, making it one of the poorest-value bets at this table.
Control your stake
There are no playing decisions after the cards are dealt. Choosing lower-edge bets and deciding how much to stake are the main choices you can make; a betting system does not change the odds.
Frequently asked questions
What is No Commission Baccarat?
It is a Baccarat variant where a winning Banker bet usually pays 1:1 without a 5% commission. The exception is a Banker win with a final total of exactly 6, which pays 1:2. Player and Banker name the two hands you can bet on; you do not control either hand.
What happens when the Banker wins with a total of 6?
A winning Banker bet pays 1:2. For example, a $10 bet wins $5. A separate Super 6 side bet pays 12:1 if the Banker wins with exactly 6.
Is No Commission Baccarat better value than standard Baccarat?
Not for the Banker bet in this version. The reduced payout on a Banker win with 6 costs more on average than the 5% commission it replaces. Banker has a 1.46% house edge here, compared with roughly 1.06% at a standard commission table.
Which bet has the best odds in this version?
Player has the lowest house edge among the main bets at 1.24%. Banker has a 1.46% house edge, while Tie has a 14.36% house edge despite paying 8:1.
What is the Super 6 side bet?
Super 6 wins if the Banker finishes with exactly 6 and wins the hand. It pays 12:1 and has a house edge of roughly 30%. It is separate from an ordinary Banker bet.
Are there any decisions to make once the cards are dealt?
No. You choose your bets before the deal. Natural checks and all third-card decisions then follow fixed rules automatically.
