Baccarat (Black): Side Bet Payouts and the Playtech Table Layout
A Playtech baccarat table with more side bets than most, including Egalite, which you can place without a main bet. Here is what each one pays.
Baccarat (Black) is the Playtech version of baccarat in the 3Win8 lobby. The core game is standard: bet on Banker, Player or a tie, and the hand closest to nine wins. What sets this table apart is the long list of side bets.
Side bets and their payouts
These are the side bets listed for the game:
| Bet | Pays |
|---|---|
| Banker Pair | 11:1 |
| Player Pair | 11:1 |
| Any Pair | 5:1 |
| Perfect Pair | usually 25:1 |
| Big / Small | see the in-game paytable |
| Egalite | up to 150:1 |
Egalite is a bet on the tie ending with a specific total. It is rarely offered, and on this table you can place it without any basic bet on Banker or Player.
High payout figures reflect how unlikely those results are. Side bets generally carry a bigger house edge than the main Banker and Player bets, so size them accordingly.
Reading the Baccarat (Black) screen
The upper left corner shows your overall and personal statistics along with the table limits. The opposite side shows the round timer and the cards in each hand.
That statistics panel is handy for keeping track of your session, but past results do not predict the next hand. Every deal is independent.
Menu options on the Playtech table
The usual Playtech main menu runs along the bottom of the screen. From there you can:
- adjust the volume and video quality
- open the game rules
- turn on automatic bet confirmation
- hide your bets so other players can't see them
If you want to try it, open Baccarat (Black) on 3Win8. For the rest of the in-house table and slot titles, see 3Win8 Mini Games.
