What is Baccarat?
Baccarat is a classic card game that has been a staple in casinos for centuries. Known for its simplicity and low house edge, Baccarat is a favorite among both beginners and experienced players. The game involves two hands: the Player and the Banker. Your goal is to bet on which hand will have a total closest to 9, or if the result will be a tie.
At EZJili, we offer multiple Baccarat variants including Baccarat A, Baccarat B, and Sexy Blockchain Baccarat, each with unique features and betting limits to suit every player's style.

How to Play Baccarat
Place Your Bet
Choose to bet on the Player, Banker, or Tie. The Banker bet has the best odds but requires a 5% commission on wins. The Player bet pays 1:1, while Tie bets pay 8:1 but are harder to win.
Cards Are Dealt
Both Player and Banker receive two cards each. Cards 2-9 are worth face value, 10s and face cards are worth 0, and Aces are worth 1. If the total exceeds 9, only the last digit counts (15 becomes 5).
Third Card Rule
Depending on the initial hands, a third card may be drawn automatically according to strict rules. You don't need to memorize these - the dealer handles everything for you.
Winner Determined
The hand closest to 9 wins. If both hands have the same value, it's a Tie. Winning bets are paid immediately, and you can place a new bet for the next round.

Baccarat Strategy Tips
Bet on the Banker
Statistically, the Banker bet has the highest win probability at 50.68%. Despite the 5% commission, it offers the best long-term expected value.
Avoid Tie Bets
While Tie bets pay 8:1, the house edge is over 14%. These are sucker bets that will deplete your bankroll quickly. Stick to Player or Banker bets.
Manage Your Bankroll
Set a budget before you start and stick to it. Never chase losses by increasing your bets beyond your comfort level. Responsible gaming is key to long-term enjoyment.
Track the Trends
Many players use scorecards to track past results. While each hand is independent, following trends can make the game more engaging and help you stay focused.
